  • We built sand castles that washed away
    I made you cry when I walked away
    Oh, and although I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
    Every promise don't work out that way, oh, babe
    Every promise don't work out that way

    Dishes smashed on my counter from our last encounter
    Pictures snatched out the frame
    Bitch, I scratched out your name and your face
    What is it about you that I can't erase, baby?
    When every promise don't work out that way, no, no, babe
    When every promise don't work out that way

    And your heart is broken 'cause I walked away
    Show me your scars and I won't walk away
    Oh, and I know I promised that I couldn't stay, baby
    Every promise don't work out that way, no, no, no, no, no
    Every promise don't work out that way Writer/s: Beyonce Knowles, Malik Yusef Jones, Midian Mathers, Vincent II Le Carl Berry
