You Promised (Demo) Brantley Gilbert

[Verse 1]
She was cryin' out my name
Standin' in the driveway
Little bare feet wearin' her cotton dress in my way
I still see the rain chasin 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 convictions
Beside myself
Beside some empty pill prescription

[Chorus 1]
Can hear her screamin' now
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 I wore your ring
It meant forever
I've got it on, Baby
How can you say I lost it
Oh, you promised

[Verse 2]
Started cryin' while I was sleeping
Wakin' up and reachin' 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 about growing old
I heard her words
I heard her say it'll never work
