I Can't Promise
I'm standing in my own plow of sh*t
It smell good to me but I just want to quit
I'm falling in love and I can't stop it
I can't promise I'll catch you when you fall
God knows I can't do it all
I can't promise that I'll be what you need
God knows that I'm trying to be
But could you have a little faith in me
Oh baby, could you have a little faith in me
I lost my soul and never got it back
I'm walking toward the light but falling in the crack
I'm putting out my hand for her to take
I've falling to far and it's too late
I can't promise I'll catch you when you fall
God knows I can't do it all
I can't promise that I'll be what you need
God knows that I'm trying to be
But could you have a little faith in me
Oh baby, could you have a little faith in me
I can't undo what I have had done
I can't take the bullets out of the gun
I can only try and change for you
And that is what I'm trying to do
But could you have a little faith in me
Oh baby, could you have a little faith in me
