[Verse 1]
We wrote our names
On a cheap motel matchbook
Said forever like a dare
With the bourbon burning
And the room still spinning
You swore you'd always be there

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the morning's on the floor
In a thousand tiny cuts
I can hear it when you laugh
How it all turned into dust

[Chorus]
Porcelain promises
Shatter on the tile
Porcelain promises
Break under my smile
We held them up too high
Then watched them fall apart
Porcelain promises
Loud in a young heart
(Porcelain promises)

[Verse 2]
Your ring by the sink
My shirt on the chair
Moonlight through the blinds
Lipstick on a glass
Ash in the ashtray
And your last "I swear"

[Pre-Chorus]
But the whiskey took our words
And it turned them into rain
We were fire in the dark
Now I'm left with all this pain

[Chorus]
Porcelain promises
Shatter on the tile
Porcelain promises
Break under my smile
We held them up too high
Then watched them fall apart
Porcelain promises
Loud in a young heart
(Porcelain promises)

[Bridge]
If love was a vow
We signed it with trembling hands
Held it to the flame
Didn't know it wouldn't stand
Now every bright excuse
Cuts me like a knife
Young love and whiskey
Don't come out alive

[Final Chorus]
Porcelain promises
Shatter on the tile
Porcelain promises
Break under my smile
We held them up too high
Then watched them fall apart
Porcelain promises
Loud in a young heart
Porcelain promises
Gone in the dark
(Porcelain promises)
