Story Behind The Song

I actually knew a girl named Promise, and I used to give her roses and gifts and attempt to shower her with love, but I couldn't get past the Friend Zone. So I decided it was time to change my silly ways.

Song Description

Making a promise to yourself that you'll find love and things will go your way if you just change your approach.

Lyrics

So I guess you thought you were gonna hear another fucking love song
So I guess you thought you were gonna hear, hear me piss and moan some more
Well I want you to know that I'm not gonna sing another fucking love song
I don't wanna hear another love song, I don't wanna be another love song

I could sue about a million bands for writing songs about me
I'm here to collect my royalties

I've made my promise, I'm changing my ways, not working anymore
My declaration of dependence states that there will be no more
Moving too slow, saying dumb things, buying roses and diamond rings
I promise things are gonna go my way

Yeah, my heart's been broke about a thousand times, it will be broke a thousand more
I won't be satisfied 'til every young girl's heart is lying broken on the floor
I've learned from my mistakes, I won't make them again, not gonna screw it up now
I don't think that I'm gonna screw it up now... I'm probably about to screw it up now

I'm tired of losing out and always hearing "no"
But love songs aren't the way to go

I could sue about a million bands for writing songs about me
I'm here to collect my royalties

Pretty soon things better fuckin' go my way
