Promises (2014) from Velcro Heart by Andrew Bockus

Why’d I give my heart away again?
Knew right from the start just how it would end
I’m always the friend
But I can pretend

Why’d I give my heart away again?
You told me at the start, you drew a line in the sand
But in comes the wind
And out go our plans


I break the rules I fall for you
With every conversation

And I’ll admit I lost my grit
You broke my concentration

But as for you
You follow through
You keep your promises
You said you’d break my heart and you did


Why’d I give my heart away again?
Nothing much to it, I’m a stupid man
I don’t listen
No I don’t listen


Here’s some truth: I’d sell my shoes
To take you on vacation

And I’m convinced that when we kissed
I felt your leg shaking

But as for you
You follow through
You keep your promises
You said you’d break my heart and you did
