The Promise

lyrics

It was the way
You looked away
It was your eyes
Empty and full of lies
It was your touch
I missed so much
It was your hand
Straying too far from mine
I thought you would
Help me through this
Slowly I saw
The way you drifted off
I don’t want to
Do this alone
Why don’t you care for me ?

You can understand my pain (x2)
And I need someone to hold
But you weren’t there for me (x2)
When I needed someone to hold
You weren’t there for me… again.

You were the one
I counted on
You had the light
I saw in no one else
You brought me down
I got back up
Why don’t you care for me ?

You can understand my pain (x2)
And I need someone to hold
But you weren’t there for me (x2)
When I needed someone to hold
You weren’t there for me… again.

Don’t play the victim
Although you say this is my fault
You just walked away
How can I go through this lie
without you? (x3)

Under the water I drown
Under the light I burn
Under the ground I die
But with your silence, I grow stronger (x4)

You can understand my pain (x2)
And I need someone to hold
But you weren’t there for me (x2)
When I needed someone to hold
You weren’t there for me… again.
