A promise
I’d never break a promise
I promised you that I would stay
That I would never go away
I said to all that I’d be happy
Being no one else but me
I promised you that I would try
I promise that I’ll never cry
Though promises are hard to keep
And you didn’t keep any for me
But standing here now
Like I’m on a ships bow
I can tell you I’ll never leave
That I’ll always be upbeat
I’ll never let you see the painful cries
That I hide behind my eyes
I’ll just keep on living my life
As if I have nothing to hide
Nothing to fear, no reason to scream
If I repeat it enough I might just believe
Believe that I will be ok
Believe that there will come a day
Where I’ll always be kind and just
And all these memories will turn to dust
But for now I’ll make promises I can’t keep
As I fall into the deep
But I can promise that I’ll always try
I promise that I’ll never cry
I promise I will never break
All these promises that I’ve made
