Paper Ring Promises

Lyrics

Verse 1
[F] You said forever on the phone
But your ring was never home
Empty vows in your back pocket
Same old line, then you lock it

[M] I was waiting at the door
You was out there wanting more
Behind my back, behind her smile
You had me hurtin' all the while

Pre-Chorus
[F] No marriage, no truth
Just games in your suits
[M] I gave you my trust
You gave me dust

Chorus
Paper ring promises
Say my name, then vanish quick
Paper ring promises
Fake love never loved like this
Lies on your tongue
Cheatin' in the dark
Paper ring promises
Left a bruise on my heart

Verse 2
[M] You kept women in the wings
Made me fall for borrowed things
Settlin' me for less than real
Playin' me just for the thrill

[F] I was honest, wide open
You was broken, still hopin'
Not for love, just for the chase
Now I see it in your face

Pre-Chorus
[M] No shame, no sight
Just wrong every night
[F] You wanted the prize
But not the life

Chorus
Paper ring promises
Say my name, then vanish quick
Paper ring promises
Fake love never loved like this
Lies on your tongue
Cheatin' in the dark
Paper ring promises
Left a bruise on my heart

Bridge
[F] No more tears for your excuses
No more staying where the truth is
[M] You played the game
Now I know your name
[F] Used and bruised, but I'm still standin'
[M] I won't build on broken standin'
[F] Take your tricks
[M] Take your lies
[F] I'm done with all your alibis

Chorus
Paper ring promises
Say my name, then vanish quick
Paper ring promises
Fake love never loved like this
Lies on your tongue
Cheatin' in the dark
Paper ring promises
Left a bruise on my heart
