Theme: Promise

Promises

They always say:
'Don't make promises
You can't keep'
Was it really that hard?

I've only seen you twice
My entire life
I wanted to keep in touch
But you were lost among the dust.

We made promises
That sad, lonesome day
I told you, 'No drugs for me'
You told me, 'No jail for me'

And now I hear
You've disappeared
For reasons no one knows

We made promises
That sad, lonesome day

When I heard you left
I lost my breath
I'm sure you know how it feels

You might as well
Have taken a knife
And shoved it in my side

I stood up for you
When no one else would
I wanted so bad
To believe what you said

I now know why
Everyone gave up
They always say
You'll never change.

I will always have hope
That you will grow up
I pray every day
That you don't find your grave.

We made promises
That sad, lonesome day...
