Promises

I've been trying to put this in words for to long
Because the words seem to never get along
Press my pen to the paper for the better words I lack
Cause every time there on the tip of my tongue I hesitate and take them back
For every promise there's a promise broken
And with everything I say there's a desire to catch your ear
Every breath that I take without you is a breath wasted, breath that's wasted
And every moment without you here is a moment that I long to hold you near
I've been dying to catch that glimpse in your eye
So I'll choke on these cliche words and swallow all my pride
I've got a perfect view to see me in the back of your mind
And I'll do anything to keep me hanging around
Cause you've taken my breath and you're holding it tight
For every promise there's a promise broken
And with everything I say there's a desire to catch your ear
Every breath that I take without you is a breath wasted, breath that's wasted
And every moment without you here is a moment that I long to hold you near
For every promise there's a promise broken
With everything I say there's a desire to catch your ear
Every breath that I take without you is a breath that I am longing to hold you near
