We built sand castles that washed away I made you cry when I walked away And although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby Every promise don't work out that way, oh, babe Every promise don't work out that way Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter Pictures snatched out the frame b**h, I scratched out your name and your face What is it about you that I can't erase, baby? Well every promise don't work out that way, no no, babe Well every promise don't work out that way And your heart is broken cause I walked away Show me your scars and I won't walk away And I know I promised that I couldn't stay, baby Every promise don't work out that way, no no no no no Every promise don't work out that way
