Promise You Can't Keep

I heard you swear your love this morning
And it caught me almost wanting to believe
The three little words that serve as warning
And say it's just a promise you can't keep

A statement that's been so used I felt compelled to tell you
But knew there wasn't much to say
I could have threatened leavin' or listed hopeless reasons
If I didn't have this need to stay
Three little words should be my warning
Cause I know that's just a promise you can't keep
[ steel - fiddle ]
A statement that's been so used...
I heard you swear your love this morning
