Madeline Dean - Empty Promise

Now I look like the bad guy
'Cause you left me to run and cry
Didn't think I'd realize that behind dry eyes I'd need the same
Attention
Now that you mention
I'm guessing friends isn't quite in question
But if we're being honest
You're just an empty promise
We were a bullet wound covered by a bandaid
I only ripped it 'cause I knew it wouldn't stop the pain
I hate it when you say my name
You put me in the lineup even when you knew you were the one to blame
I loved you with my eyes closed
Felt safe behind a blindfold
I'm not who you want me to be
Vilify me
I'm sorry I'm better without you
Now I look like the bad guy
'Cause you left me to run and cry
Didn't think I'd realize that behind dry eyes I'd need the same
Attention
Now that you mention
I'm guessing friends isn't quite in question
But if we're being honest
You're just an empty promise
Loving you was a performance
Bending backwards just to show ya I adore ya
Yet every show I got no roses
Just empty seats that seem to me to be the piece that I could not complete
I loved you with my eyes closed
Felt safe behind a blindfold
I'm not who you want me to be
Vilify me
I'm sorry I'm better without you
Now I look like the bad guy
'Cause you left me to run and cry
Didn't think I'd realize that behind dry eyes I'd need the same
Attention
Now that you mention
I'm guessing friends isn't quite in question
But if we're being honest
You're just an empty promise
