The Promise Lyrics


Only in your eyes

reflection of a need

I am good enough

When in my own

a slumber is born

to hide the sight of chance

In the dead of night

this sentiment finds home

and I deny myself

What I need most

lies near to me still

yet always out of reach

Leave me

where I will wash away

Forget me

while I will fall behind

of the promise

I once held

Now I see

a summer breeze to free me

that I took for a storm

shields set up too high

A sudden urge

A forgotten sensation

A wish denied

A truth so far forsaken

The sorrow haunts me still

an image to defeat

your words to keep me sane

All I never knew

my thoughts were never true

if only I could see like you

Promise me

once again

sew the seams

cross the line

Promise me

another dawn

for all my dreams

there’s still time

Just promise me

and I’ll believe you

take my fear

change my mind
