Promises

Do your promises mean nothing, then?
We told my father that you would treat me well
That I would be home early.
What about promises you might make to me?

We told my father that you would treat me well.
Are we able to keep our word?
What about promises we migjt make to each other?
Should I trust, or withdraw again?

Are we able to keep our word
That I would be home early?
Should I trust, or withdraw again
Do your promises mean nothing then?
