Artist - Brantley Gilbert. Song - You Promised. Lyrics -. "You Promised". She was crying out my name. Standing in the driveway. Little bare feet wearing her cotton dress in my way. I still see the rain chasing tears down her face. It was back in October when I said it's over and hid. Behind the door. Behind the shame of my conviction. Beside myself. Beside some empty pill prescription. Can hear her screamin' now. No baby don't, you making my heart hurt. Don't say those words. Take it back. You know you don't mean that. You swore when I wore your ring. It meant forever. I've got it on baby. How can you say I lost it. Oh, you promised. Started crying while I was sleeping. Waking up and reaching out. To a bed as empty as the heart inside my chest. So I gathered up some pictures. Said I had some things to give her. I let her read a letter. I had written her to give her on the day we tied the knot. I saw the tears. I saw them fall as she read the part of my growing old. I heard her words. I heard her say it'll never work. And hit my knees and cried. No baby don't you're making my heart hurt. Don't say those words. Take it back. You know you don't mean that. You swore when you wore my ring. It meant forever. You've got it on baby. How can you say you lost it. Yeah and you promised. We were different people then. Look at all the hateful things we've said. And I'm just as guilty. But girl that's no way to be. Take it easy baby I'm still broken. Memories enough to tear me wide open. When you see me girl you curse my name. Makes me wanna say. No, no baby don't. You're making my heart hurt. Don't say those words. Take it back. You know you don't mean that. You know when you wore my ring. We said forever. But you took it off baby. Safe to say we're through. No matter what you do. You know I'll always love you. Well I have to. 'Cause I promised.
