THE PROMISE

I know you made her promise
Even though you felt no closeness
You told your daddy you’d look after her
She was his best friend and your mother
I heard you found her a place to live
She never learned to love or how to give
Nice to everyone but you it seems
She is the mystery in all your dreams

You swore you’d take care of her
That you’d never walk away from her
Sometimes the right thing to do
Is not the choice you thought you’d choose
I know you made her a promise

I hear you’re feeling like a monster
I watch you holding on to words and ways
I feel you contemplate your honor
They’re placing judgment from miles away
Your best intentions point right to her
And in the evening there’s no script
You face nighttime like a warrior
You get the stories they all miss

You swore you’d take care of her
That you’d never walk away from her
Sometimes the right thing to do
Is not the choice you thought you’d choose

Time has its own way
Before you can say
Of making you stay
Please don’t hide behind cool judgments
You make your own choices
And shut out small voices
I know you made her a promise

CHORUS x 2
