The Promise

God, I am so ashamed
Of the way that I treated you every day
And there's so much I would change
If you still felt the same

I'm so in love with you
But there's not much left now to hold on to
And nothing left to lose
But no one will love you the way I do

Does it seem untrue or a little strange
That feelings grow and people change
It's not always when you need it
But I'm here if you believe it

And I swear to God that I will always love you
I'm always thinking of you, and missing you every day
And it may take a while, but I'll wait for you forever
Because I know that I will never feel this way about anyone again

Trying to numb the sting
Of the bitter end of a perfect thing
Stuck here in between
A flawless love and a fleeting dream

I'm smart enough to know
It'd be easier if I just let go
But my heart is a radio
And you're coming through in stereo

Too young and dumb to ever say
What I should have told you every day
How wonderful you are
Honey, you're my guiding star

And I swear to God that I will always love you
I'm always thinking of you, and missing you every day
And it may take a while, but I'll wait for you forever
Because I know that I will never feel this way about anyone again

I want to scream to the top of my lungs that I love you to death
I want to hold you so tight that you gasp for breath
I want to share every secret that you struggle to hide
Every laugh, every tear, for the rest of my life
I want to wake every morning just to look in your eyes
And hold you up every night to the stars in the sky
I want to give all I have to give
And love you as long as I live

These are the lives we make
It's push and pull and it's give and take
But how long until I break
Under my mistake

I guess that's the way it goes
Your head can't take what your heart still knows
Even when it shows
It's too much I suppose

It's not enough to speak the words
I want to be your one and your only
I need to show you what love can be tonight
But if you decide you're better off
With someone else, still, no matter what,
I never will forget you
I'm so glad that I had met you

And I swear to God that I will always love you
You know I'm always thinking of you, and missing you every day
And it may take some time, but I'll wait for you forever
Because I know that I will never feel this way again
And I swear to God that I will always love you
You know I'm always thinking of you, and missing you every day
And it may take some time, but I'll wait for you forever
Because I know that I will never feel this way again
