Empty promises are just dirty damn lies Parading around in a cheap disguise You'll like to me til I quit lyin' to myself If it ain't me damn sure gonna be somebody else I can count the days you were kind on one hand You weaken me til I can barely stand You'll keep hurting me til I quit hurtin' myself If it ain't me damn sure gonna be somebody else If I can't help myself up You'll keep on keepin' me down So go off til I'm strong enough To break my fall and turn it back around on you I lost track of every time that you swore Ya didn't have to be the way you were before You'll lie to me til I quit lyin' to myself If it ain't me damn sure gonna be somebody else
