Promise Lyrics by JT Kidd

Resurrection

2017

[Intro]
You made me a promise
I said you made me a promise
[Verse 1]
If I would follow your lead then you would lead me to paradise
(When you made me a promise)
But now it seems that everything comes to me I earned from a pair of dice
(When you made me a promise)
I was down on my knees, felt the light, and I believed
(When you made me a promise)
I know I must succeed, hope is all I need, you helped me see
(I don't need that promise)
[Hook 1]
That promise I don't need it
You helped me see it
I believe in, you, I know I'll beat this
(Now this for fake friends)
You made me a promise
I said you made me a promise
[Verse 2]
That you would always be there for me
You promised me that you cared for me
But now it seems I'm doing everything carefully
To avoid the times when you would stare at me
In your eyes, I would see resentment, but I would still believe you carelessly
I told you that you are scaring me
You ask "Austin, what are you scared to see?"
I said the real you, deep down in your heart, or is there even anything there to see?
If there was, then you wouldn't call me a friend and then turn around and take all my air to breath
You tell me this bond is different from last, and it seems the same and it's tearing me
Up inside, and when I, needed someone the most, I turn around and see no one is there for me
[Hook 2]
And that promise you broke it
I know it
Murder, and this time I wrote it
(This is for that girl)
You made me a promise
I said you made me a promise
[Verse 3]
That I was amazing you
Became more amazing when I spent more days with you
Said you admired me cause of my fearlessness
And when I spoke without joking you were hearing it
You told me you cared, and would always be there, and I should never give up cause you believe in me
You thanked me for always being there, and you said "Austin, thank you for what you see in me."
Then my heart stopped, you sound like girls in the past especially when you talk about our deep conversations
I been through this BS before, y'all think I'm lying this is basically what she said verbatim
You end it all of it saying "I'm ready to spend the next chapter with you."
All that is nice but too bad you proved all of that isn't fucking true
[Hook 3]
That promise could've help us both out
But now I can't believe anything that comes out yo mouth
(This for the Kidd)
You made me a promise
I said you made me a promise
[Verse 4]
That you would change and you didn't
Or that when you get a shot, that you will win it
Or that you're taking over the game, once you're in it
And that all of this would just take a minute
You promised, you wouldn't let things affect you
And that you'll always be in the best mood
And that people will start to respect you
Now I know why people left you
[Hook 4]
That promise you failed yourself
Now what will you tell yourself
(I'll say)
You made me a promise
I'll say you made me a promise
