Promise? Lyrics

Da-da, da, da-da, da

Think I′d let you ruin me forever
Laughin' like a child with your crooked grin
I′d tell you how I feel if I was clever
And my interest all consist of, if you, if you're, if you're interested

I should probably just leave it alone
′Cause I know that we′re supposed to be friends
We're friends, we′re friends, we're friends, but

Oh, I want you, but, I′ll never tell you
'Cause if I tell you, you could say I′m not the one
You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back

Oh, can you promise that?
Oh, can you promise that?

Do you know what it's like to feel this fuckin′ shy?
Let me paint a picture for you, your voice keeps me up at night
Do you know how it feels, pretend it′s no big deal?
When I'm lookin′ up at you I make you laugh, and, oh, God, it feels like

You only left about a minute ago (oh)
But I already need to see you again
Again, again, again, like

Oh, I want you, but, I'll never tell you
′Cause if I tell you, you could say I'm not the one
You want, and I, I couldn′t handle that
So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back

Oh, can you promise that?
Oh, can you promise that?
Yeah, if I tell you, you promise me I can take it back
Can you promise that?

Wish I could tell you, I think about you all the time
I like your hair, I like the way it's in your stupid eyes
Wish I could tell you, you're with me everywhere I go
You′re in the rain, you′re in my drink, you're in my cortisol
Wish I could tell you, I think about you all the time
I′m scared to death that I'll be wishin′ for you for the rest of my life

I want you, I'll never tell you
If I tell you, you could say I′m not the one
You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back

Oh, I want you, but, I'll never tell you
′Cause if I tell you, you could say I′m not the one
You want, and I, I couldn't handle that
So if I tell you, then promise me I can take it back

Oh, can you promise that?
Ooh, can you promise that?
