We build sand castles That washed away I made you cry When I walked away, ooh And although I promised That I couldn’t stay, babe 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 Bitch I scratched out your name And your face What is it about you? That I can’t erase, baby When every promise don’t work out that way No no oh baby When 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, Ooh And I know I promised that I couldn’t stay, bay… baby Every promise don’t work out that way, no no no no no Every promise don’t work out that way
