Tim Gerard - Right from the Start

I’ve been there and I’ve done it

I’ve made promises before

but they were so much cheaper then

like candy from a store

I’d hand them out to strangers

who took them on good faith

Crossed my heart and hoped to die

my fingers crossed in case

Can I forgive the youth I was and blame it on his years

When he wasn’t even man enough to stay and count the tears


I’d rather be broke than break a promise

I’d rather breakdown than break your heart

I’d rather have nothing at all between us than a lie

Right from the start


I didn’t know the price of love

I thought that talk was cheap

Spent all of the words I’d need

to make a promise I could keep

So there’s nothing I can say

to make you think my love is true

Please take my heart and break it

before I say

I love you

 
I’d rather be broke than break a promise

I’d rather breakdown than break your heart

I’d rather have nothing at all between us than a lie

I’d rather be broke than break a promise

I’d rather breakdown than break your heart

I’d rather have nothing at all between us than a lie

Right from the start


I’ve taken roads to nowhere

I’ve been down and I’ve been out

but I never made a promise that I couldn’t live without


I’d rather be broke than break a promise

I’d rather break up than break my word

into a thousand pieces before I see you hurt


I’d rather be broke than break a promise

I’d rather breakdown than break your heart

I’d rather have nothing at all between us

than a lie

I’d rather be broke than break a promise

I’d rather breakdown than break your heart

I’d rather have nothing at all between us

than a lie

Right from the start

Right from the start

Don't ever wanna break your heart

Right from the start
