Promises

Promises given
And promises broken
Words stain my lips
Just like blood on my handsAnd words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understandWell I offer no reason
And I ask for no pity
I make no excuse
For the way that I amAnd words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understandI God is my witness
Then God is my savior
But if you are my judge
Then I'm already damnedAnd words are like poison
That sinks down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understandAnd would if my fingers
To cut off and give you
Could gain my redemption
I'd cut off my handsBut words are like poison
That bends you and blinds you
And some things you do
You just don't understandSo this is my story
And I hope that it finds you
For your sweet attention
I cannot demandAnd words are like poison
That lives down inside you
And some things you do
You just don't understand
