Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Almost found heaven, but I missed a step
Tried to move on, but I can't forget
And I wonder if I'm in your head still
Maybe we were never meant to get this far
Maybe we fell for the sake of art
But I promise that you got my heart still
I'm better off believin' I can't live without you
Everybody else I know is nothin' like you
All the stars fall apart in the galaxy, I
Promises can be hard to keep, hard to keep, I
All the lines, they all blur when we fall asleep, I
Why did you have to fall for me, fall for me? I
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
And I'm scared of letting anybody close to me
I'm out of shape like out-of-date groceries
And my heart is falling from my sleeve
I don't know if it'll come back to me
And I don't care if I'm losing sleep
The only time I visit you is in my dreams
Maybe you were never just mine to keep
'Cause you don't really feel like a part of me no more
I'm better off believin' I can't live without you
Everybody else I know is nothin' like you
All the stars fall apart in the galaxy, I
Promises can be hard to keep, hard to keep, I
All the lines, they all blur when we fall asleep, I
Why did you have to fall for me, fall for me? I
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
And I'm not ready to see you this happy
My smile is slowly evaporating
Gone, you were wrong
I can still feel lonely without you
And you call it a lesson
But two years later, I'm stuck in the mess that we have made
Feelings fade, but, what if mine still linger?
All the lines, they all blur when we fall asleep, I
Why did you have to fall for me, fall for me? I
All the stars fall apart in the galaxy, I
Promises can be hard to keep, hard to keep, I
All the lines, they all blur when we fall asleep, I
Why did you have to fall for me, fall for me? I
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
