Promises Lyrics

Never meant to break my own promises
Never meant to break my own promises

Promises, just promises
Promises, just promises

Again, the excuses and generally wasting my time
I'm finding solutions, just seeking my peace of mind
No hocus or pocus, my focus is drunk on the floor
And mumbling something about one more,
Oh, falling across the line
Keep punching petals at the ember light
And I cross my heart and hope to die
Unless I happen to lie, I

Never meant to break my own promises
Never meant to break my own promises
One more night, I said it the last time
This is the last time, say it and now once more
Never meant to break my own promises

Break my own promises
Promises, just promises
Promises, just promises

I said I was trying, I really was driving the coast
The fight or the flight, well I side with the latter most
It almost is laughable but when I chuckle I choke
Can't get the words out my throat of one more
Is that my lion's pride, I meet my mountain then I run and hide
And I cross my heart and hope to die
Unless I happen to lie

Never meant to break my own promises
Never meant to break my own promises
One more night, I said it the last time
This is the last time, say it and now once more
Never meant to break my own promises

Break my own promises
Promises, just promises
Promises, just promises

Ryn Weaver (born Erin Michelle Wüthrich on August 10, 1992) is an American singer and songwriter. Born in San Diego, Weaver moved to New York to study acting at NYU but dropped out after two years and returned to California to pursue music. She met Benny Blanco through a friend matching with him on Tinder - at his birthday party, she promoted her Soundcloud account. Weaver signed to Interscope Records and released her debut single, OctaHate, in June 2014. The track, which was co-written by Blanco, Charli XCX, Michael Angelakos (of Passion Pit), and Cashmere Cat, rose in popularity after it was promoted by XCX, Hayley Williams and Jessie Ware, among others, on Twitter.

In August 2014, Weaver released an EP, Promises, which was described as "promising." In June 2015, her debut LP, The Fool, received generally favorable reviews.

Weaver cites her father as one of her main musical influences, as well as Joni Mitchell, Carole King, Carly Simon, Tori Amos, Fiona Apple, Joanna Newsom, David Bowie, and Led Zeppelin.
