The Promise

Lyrics: Anja Gmür/James Conway Ellis/Joey Eighty/Joshua Carruthers Music: Anja Gmür/James Conway Ellis/Joey Eighty/Joshua Carruthers Started to like myself better The longer I was with you I grew as strong as the storms we'd weather Forgot that I was born blue When we were riding the waves and you said I was safe Did you mean it? 'Cause now you're pulling away As I drown in the wake of your leaving Of your leaving I handed over my heart Thought I could let down my guard Maybe that makes me a fool Now you say I'll find the one that I need That's ******* hard to believe When all I needed was you And you swore blind Your blood on mine You'd stay with me I know you tried But I'm the promise you couldn't keep I put my weight on your shoulders I never let anybody closer You're building a wall don't you care anymore? I'm in pieces And now you stand at the door saying I'm not the cause of you leaving But you're leaving I handed over my heart Thought I could let down my guard Maybe that makes me a fool Now you say I'll find the one that I need That's ******* hard to believe When all I needed was you And you swore blind Your blood on mine You'd stay with me I know you tried But I'm the promise you couldn't keep If I was sure about you Then maybe nothing is true Now I don't even think we really put a man on the moon There'll be no summer in June And I'll just go back to blue Believing everyone will leave me in the end because You swore blind Your blood on mine You'd stay with me I know you tried But I'm the promise you couldn't keep
