Lyrics to Promise Ring

[Intro]

Yo, it's ya boy Rush

You see, one of the hardest thing to do in the world

Is to trust somebody, the reason it's so hard to do

Is because most of the time, we don't even trust ourselves

Yo, yeah, here me out



[Verse 1]

They say diamonds are forever, so you get her diamonds

And hope you stay together, you're so insecure

For her to love you back, cause all you could ask in her

But love can kill slow like a fucking massacre

And I have my doubts, that you'll be by my side when the sky's full of clouds

I hate it, how it sounds, and I been betrayed by the girls I dated

And I really hate it cause my love has faded cause

Everybody lies and deceives

I've been lied to so much I could never believe

I'd rather leave than be sad and grieve cause my heart is broken

It's hard to get along with me, I'm outspoken

I've been hurt so much, that's why I'm so aggressive

And I've lost so much, that's why I'm so possessive

And I'm so hard to touch, that's why I'm so defensive

They say love don't cost a thing but it's so expensive



[Hook]

Here's a promise ring (I promise everything)

I promise anything (Just take the promise ring)

Baby promise (That you'll always wear it)

And I promise to keep my promises (I swear it)



Here's a promise ring (I promise everything)

I promise anything (Just take the promise ring)

Baby promise (That you'll always wear it)

And I promise to keep my promises (I swear it)



[Verse 2]

If you don't love nobody, then nobody can hurt you

But if nobody loves you, then why nobody want you

They only see your inperfection, if you're not a perfect person, nobody shows you their affection

You just want to scream, this life is so unfair

But why would you scream cause ain't nobody there

Baby, don't nobody care, we're lost in our own identity

Crazy life, close to insanity

I don't trust people, it's my insecurities

You say you're love's real, I'm like sure it is

And you show me this, you fly like a stewardess

But when shit gets rough, would you stay true to this

And I've been through to this way too many times

When I rap you feel the pain in my rhymes

Every girl tells me that she's different, until we get a little close, she wants to be a little distant



[Hook]



[Verse 3]

They say love is pure, but I think it's kind of filthy

To love somebody who don't love you back, we're guilty

This love shit hurts, it can drive a man insane

But it means that I'm alive, if I can still feel the pain

I never open up, my emotions are blood shut

Nothings really promised but I'm gonna take a gut shot

Hold on baby, don't talk, just listen

I swear if you ever do me wrong I'll disappear like a magician

Cause I'm dead loyal to the bone

But if you do me wrong, make my blood boil, then I'm gone

Goodbye, see you later, adios

And you don't have to break up with me, I promise to leave you first

Hold on, my emotions got the best of me

From this point on you can have the rest of me

They say time is money, will you invest in me

But I got a question, would you answer me



[Hook]
