Promises Lyrics - Lyle Lovett

Promises given 

And promises broken 

Words stain my lips 

Just like blood on my hands 

And words are like poison 

That sinks down inside you 

And some things you do 

You just don't understand 

I offer no reason 

I ask for no pity 

I make no excuse 

For the way that I am 

And words are like poison 

That sinks down inside you 

And some things you do 

You just don't understand

I God is my witness 

Then God is my savior 

But if you are my judge 

Then I'm already damned 

And words are like poison 

That sinks down inside you 

And some things you do 

You just don't understand 

And would if my fingers 

To cut off and give you 

Could gain my redemption 

I'd cut off my hands 

But words are like poison 

That bends you and blinds you 

And some things you do 

You just don't understand

You just don't understand
