[Verse 1]
Will you promise me?
Will you promise me you'll never hurt me like, like she did to me? Baby
Cause I really don't
I don't think that I could go back down that road like I did before, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it'll take a while to ease the pain
Cause when I look in your eyes, I see her face
The thought of her always pushes me away, away
It's hard to explain

[Chorus]
Bringin' my guard down ain't easy
No matter how hard I try
I promise one day I'll be there for you
But now's not a good time

[Verse 2]
Will you promise me?
Will you promise me you'll never hurt me like, like she did to me? Baby
Baby, I adore you and I'm sorry that I act so insecure
But if you knew what, what she did to me
You would do the same thing

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, it'll take a while to ease the pain (Ease to pain)
Cause when I look in your eyes, I see her face (See her face)
The thought over always pushes me away (Me away)
It's hard to explain
[Chorus]
Bringin' my guard down ain't easy
No matter how hard I try
I promise one day I'll be there for you
But now's not a good time

[Post-Chorus]
I say, "Don't you do me like that"
She said, "I won't do you like that"
I say, "Don't you do me like that"
Baby now's not a good, good time
I say, "Don't you do me like that"
She said, "I won't do you like that"
I say, "Don't you do me like that"
Baby now's not a good, good time

[Chorus]
Bringin' my guard down ain't easy
No matter how hard I try
I promise one day I'll be there for you
But now's not a good time

[Post-Chorus]
I say, "Don't you do me like that"
She said, "I won't do you like that"
I say, "Don't you do me like that"
Baby now's not a good, good time
I say, "Don't you do me like that"
She said, "I won't do you like that"
I say, "Don't you do me like that"
Baby now's not a good, good time
