Promise Songtext
von Carsie Blanton

When we fell in love it was magical
Magical stories came out of your mouth
When we fell in love it was typical
We couldn′t see 'til we began to fall out

When suddenly, you feel afraid
The things that you said
Could be making your grave
So you take it back
You take it back
You take it all back

You thought that our love was infallible
A calm you could keep ′til the day that you die
You fell prey to a dangerous miracle
To trust me so much when you couldn't say why

And what an unpleasant surprise
The truths that you told me have turned into lies!
So you take it back
You take it back
You take it all back


Oh, make me a promise that you can keep

Well I love you so much it's illogical
But baby, I can′t say that I always will
And I don′t think it would be ethical
To give you a heart that may never sit still

So I read you a list of my crimes
I've stolen your comfort now hundreds of times
And you want it back
You want it back
You want it all back. you say,

Oh, make me a promise that you can keep

Well, all that we′re asking is certainty
To armor these hearts that have never been safe
But I know it takes more than security
To open a heart that is empty of faith


So I take you into my arms
Confess to you, "I cannot
Keep you from harm
But I love you so
I love you so
I love you so!"

Oh, here is a promise that I can keep
