Promise

Promise…
Webster’s defines promise as a declaration
That something will or will not be done
Where have you been?
Is this some stupid game?
I meant it when I said I need to talk to you!
I understand, but Ivy, nothing’s changed
You have no idea what I’m going through
I’ll say it one more time
I’m sorry I don’t feel the same
We had ourselves a moment, but it’s gone
My head’s in thirty different places
Please, just try to understand
Let’s leave things at that and just move on
That night…
We weren’t safe
So tell me how we move on
I don’t know what it is you want from me
I don’t have time to hear whatever tale you’ve spun
I have to write this speech before tonight
Plus, there are all these scenes I have to run
You know what I am saying
I would never make this up
You’re a winner, pat your perfect back
Way to go, you got me pregnant
Put that in your fucking speech
They wanted real
Well, God, you’ll give them that!
Shit
Why are you doing this to me?
Shit
But we’re in this together…
I’ve got to pull together…
We’ll take it one step at a time…
Is this what I wanted?
Tell me, tell me what to do…
Somehow we’ll get through
Jason, I still love you
Someday maybe…
Love me?
Someday maybe you can learn
Maybe you can…
Maybe I can…
Maybe you can…
Learn to love you too
Learn to love me too
Maybe
Please
Maybe he would love you
Maybe if he weren’t that way,
He wouldn’t treat your feelings like his toy
Maybe he’d make you feel real special
Like I always wanted to
But he’s already in love with a boy
What?
Am I late?
What’s going on?
Jason, have you seen Ivy?
I guess you have
You knew?
Only since this afternoon
Knew what?
Ivy’s pregnant and your boyfriend’s the dad
So what does that make you?
She’s what?
What the fuck are you talking about, 'my boyfriend?'
Don’t play dumb with me, Peter
Get the fuck outta here, Matt
Should I tell them what I saw at the rave?
Look, I’m not here to judge
Just keep everyone on the same page
And, hey, I think I found that strong opening
You were looking for in your speech
Whatever, Matt, whatever you saw, it was a rave
Are you gonna stand there and deny it?
I know
You know, huh? You fucking know, huh?
What the fuck do you know?
He knows, Jason…
He knows 'cause I told him…
It was after Ivy’s birthday, we were drunk
I’m sorry…
No. You know what? I’m not
What is going on, Peter?
Jason, is he kidding? Jason?
Look… Let’s just run this scene
(sung)
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this
Peter…
Don’t…
Peter, I don’t know understand what’s happening
I don’t know what to do, you have to help me
I tried…
Wait, you know what then?
Fuck you, Peter!
Fuck you!
Jason, I don’t know what to tell you
Here’s one idea:
I’d rule out calling Dad
I’ve thought it through and I confess
I can’t see through this mess
Maybe being single’s not so bad
But you can solve this
I know you can
Don’t forget that
Take my hand
Tell me what to do
Or what to say
Somehow we’ll get through
We’ll find a way
Yeah, thanks, I know
Can you leave me alone?
I don’t mean to be mean…
I just… I ca--
Sure
Call me tonight, or tomorrow, or whenever
Just call me…
