Letra Promises Lyle Lovett

Promises

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 dont 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 dont understand

I God is my witness
Then God is my savior
But if you are my judge
Then Im already damned

And words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just dont understand

And would if my fingers
To cut off and give you
Could gain my redemption
Id cut off my hands

But words are like poison
That bends you and blinds you
And some things you do
You just dont understand

So this is my story
And I hope that it finds you
For your sweet attention
I cannot demand

And words are like poison
That lives down inside you
And some things you do
You just dont understand
