You Promised - Demo

She was crying out my name
 Standing in the driveway
 Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress in my way
 I still see the rain chasing tears down her face
 It was back in October when I said it's over and hid
 Behind the door
 Behind the shame of my conviction
 Beside myself
 Beside some empty pill prescription
 Can hear her screamin' now
 No baby don't, you making my heart hurt
 Don't say those words
 Take it back
 You know you don't mean that
 You swore when I wore your ring
 It meant forever
 I've got it on baby
 How can you say I lost it
 Oh, you promised
 Started crying while I was sleeping
 Waking up and reaching out
 To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest
 So I gathered up some pictures
 Said I had some things to give her
 I let her read a letter
 I had written her to give her on the day we tied the knot
 I saw the tears
 I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old
 I heard her words
 I heard her say it'll never work
 And hit my knees and cried
 No baby don't you're making my heart hurt
 Don't say those words
 Take it back
 You know you don't mean that
 You swore when you wore my ring
 It meant forever
 You've got it on baby
 How can you say you lost it
 Yeah and you promised
 We were different people then
 Look at all the hateful things we've said
 And I'm just as guilty
 But girl that's no way to be
 Take it easy baby I'm still broken
 Memories enough to tear me wide open
 When you see me girl you curse my name
 Makes me wanna say
 No, no baby don't
 You're making my heart hurt
 Don't say those words
 Take it back
 You know you don't mean that
 You know when you wore my ring
 We said forever
 But you took it off baby
 Safe to say we're through
 No matter what you do
 You know I'll always love you
 Well I have to
