The Promise
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.
It's haunting
This hold that you have over me
I grow so weak
I see you
And everything around you fades
And I can't speak
But you can never know what it is you do to me
I can't take what you do to me
I can't take it
(What it is you do to me)
I can't take what you do to me
I can't take it
No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin
And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now
I'm dangerous for you
You touch me
And I can barely make a move
And I can't breathe
You can never know what it is you do to me
I can't take what you do to me
I can't take it
(What it is you do to me)
I can't take what you do to me
I can't take it
No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin
And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now
I'm dangerous
The only promise I could make you
Is that my promise is a lie
The only promise I could make you
Is that my promise is a lie
No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin
And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now
I'm dangerous for you
I'm dangerous, I'm dangerous for you
My promise is I will hurt you
