Promise

Well i fumbled for a pencil and my i'm so sorry pad
and i wrote until i sprained my stupid brain
well you know that there's a reason why i made this up so fast
i thought i'd never get a chance to say
what's on my mind, i'm never kind
when my vocabulary's secondary to a bottle of
wine
But i promise i can love you
just like a man
and i promise i can hold you
like nobody can
I never knew the difference between bullshit and sincere
as long as it sounded good while coming out
and i can't blame it on my father, he gave me my first beer
and he held my head back as i puked it out
what was i saying, there i go playing
The game i know so well
talking about myself when it should be you
But i promise i can love you
just like a man
and i promise i can hold you
like nobody can
