[Voicemail Intro:Girl] "Listen you promised you wouldn't turn your phone off As always you did Your promises don't mean anything to me anymore They don't mean sh** just call me back when you hear this ok? Please call me back, promise me" [Hook:TheArtisin] The Promises I made We're empty and distained Leaving you in pain Lost and afraid The Promises I made We're empty and distained Now the love I once portrayed Has faded away [Verse 1] I promised Forever I promised for worse or for better I promised we would be together I promised but I cut the tether Man, Love is a desert a mortal prison for pleasure And I refuse to surrender never stopping my ventures Artists painting collages and even writing out Sonnets On an ideal thats been polished but to me it's like bondage Cause I value my freedom I'm talking f** 'em and leave 'em Numbers delete them I come and go as the seasons Don't got time for attachments, storybook reenactments Women are distractions to life's grand attractions You want me to promise, I promise not to promise But not stopping with these harlots Cause to them I'm like Adonis [Hook] The Promises I made We're empty and distained Leaving you in pain Lost and afraid The Promises I made We're empty and distained Now the love I once portrayed Has faded away
