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

Jymmy Creasy

I'm a working class skin, who has no faith in the future of the world. It's only downhill from here. I pray every night for the end and wake up every morning happier than the day before. In the chaos of my life I have found peace in my own sadness. All I have are the clothes on my back and the shoes on my feet and I love it that way... I'm not a rich man and never will be not because it's out of reach but because I hate money and greedy people... Everything I have ever have or will have I will end up giving away. "And call a man a fool, If for wealth he doesn't strive? Well then, Mr, you're a better man than I," more…
