Promise Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have locked the door and I'm shutting all the windows
To my heart
I cannot pretend to be forgiveness and forget what I will not
Swallow all the words that cramp your style
And I can see the end coming
You words are as useless as an broken record
You were always humming

[Chorus]
All I ever hear from you is just another promise
Everytime I turn around, a dead end like your promise
Six feet under buried with the comfort of your promise
Chocking on the aftermath of you and all your promise
You promised to be there and never hold another the hand
When everybody else second guessed you wouldn't ask
No secrets to consider promise me until the end
I guess a promise wasn't what you really meant

[Verse 2]
I will not reduce what we once had
And asking if we can be friends
If you could keep a promise I would ask you to forget me
But then again

[Chorus]
All I ever hear from you is just another promise
Everytime I turn around, a dead end like a promise
Six feet under buried with the comfort of your promise
Chocking on the aftermath of you and all your promise
You promised to be there and never hold another the hand
When everybody else second guessed you wouldn't ask
No secrets to consider promise me until the end
I guess a promise wasn't what you really meant

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
