Don’t Ask What I Promised by Sin and Shine

Don’t Ask What I Promised

(Verse 1)
The jar was full, the moon was high,
Boots on the floor, stars in my eye.
I swore some vows I can’t recall,
Mumbled my way through it all.

(Verse 2)
Your laugh was loud, the night was young,
I said things I shouldn’t have sung.
Hands were flappin’, words came fast,
Promises made that weren’t meant to last.

(Pre-Chorus)
I know I sounded like a hero in a song,
But some of it… probably all… was wrong.

(Chorus)
Don’t ask what I promised, don’t try to know,
The shine got me talkin’ and it won’t slow.
I might’ve sworn the moon and stars above,
Might’ve promised forever… or just a little love.
Don’t ask what I promised, you don’t wanna see,
What comes out of a jar at half past three.

(Verse 3)
I danced on the porch, might’ve kissed your cheek,
Said somethin’ wild I’d never repeat.
The dog was barkin’, the wind blew hard,
My mouth ran faster than my heart could guard.

(Verse 4)
I woke up laughin’ at the mess I made,
Moonlight memories I wish would fade.
But some things stick, and some things blur,
Like the promises I made… or maybe her.

(Pre-Chorus)
The words sounded brave, like a cowboy’s tale,
But the jar was laughin’ as I went off the rails.

(Bridge)
Next time I’ll sip slow, maybe take my time,
Maybe keep my mouth from ridin’ the line.
But tonight the shine had other plans,
I’m just a fool with a jar in my hands.

(Chorus – Big Finish)
Don’t ask what I promised, don’t try to know,
The shine got me talkin’ and it won’t slow.
I might’ve sworn the moon and stars above,
Might’ve promised forever… or just a little love.
Don’t ask what I promised, you don’t wanna see,
What comes out of a jar at half past three.

(Outro – Soft, Laughing)
Yeah… don’t ask what I promised…
Trust me, you don’t wanna know.
