Young, Promising Lyrics

Could you please give me just a little more time?

I can make you proud, I can be the child

You always wanted, I can finish college

I'll be a good mother, have a clean record like my brother

What happened to your high hopes for me?

I threw them all up in the kitchen sink

And when people ask you how I'm doin these days

I bet you wish they would just go away

Uh

Don't you think I wish I was better?

Don't know where it all came untethered

What do you know, I fucked up everything

Oh I miss the days when I was young, promising

Sometimes I imagine a different life

I've got a picket fence, I'm somebody's wife

But the house is haunted, and I don't really want it

Just a messed up dream coming apart at the seams

Could you at least take part of the blame?

So I don't go to my grave in shame

Your marriage in distress, you were too obsessed

To see a scared little kid, oh no, god forbid

Uh

Don't you think I wish I was better?

Don't know where it all came untethered

What do you know, I fucked up everything

Oh I miss the days when I was young, promising

Please just give me some more time

Please just give me some more time

Please just give me some more time

Could you please give me just a little more time?

Uh

Don't you think I wish I was better?

Don't know where it all came untethered

What do you know, I fucked up everything

Oh I miss the days when I was young, promising

Young, promising

Young, promising
