8STOPS7 - Wait I Swear lyrics

rate me

He makes his rounds

At every bar he drinks till ten

She used to wait up

And watch him stumble through the door

She'd pick him up lead him down the hall

Help him sleep off this alcohol

All the while he'd stutter

Out the words he thinks she wants to hear

And the message rings loud and clear

*chorus*

Wait, don't cry

I swear, i can settle down

Wait, don't cry

I swear, i can settle down

But he drinks too much she's had enough

This has to end

She dries her eyes packs her bags

And goes to call her only friend

He bangs on window knowcks down the door

In a drunken stupor calls her a whore

She remembers she once fell in love with his voice

But not anymore. no, she's not anymore

*chorus*

We all want to be safe

Trying to figure this out

Just what became

Of our lives

When did we stop trying

To make the best for our children

One's on the way

I bet you didn't know

*chorus* (2x)

All along she's been thinking

We can be friends

But i don't want to be

Down that same road again

Won't you please let me go

I don't want to be

Tied to the last time

We began to grow
