Small Promises

You weren't taught how to breathe
You weren't taught how to sleep
You never thought about the things that you miss when you're asleep
The city doesn't need to breathe
The city doesn't really sleeps
The city keeps having things that you miss when you're asleep
Lost some opportunities
Hide your fears, give up your dreams
Where do we go in our sleep?
They know
Do you really want to sleep?
As your dreams turn into tears
And everyone pretends that their lives are so clean
Lost some opportunities
Hide your fears, give up your dreams
Where do we go in our sleep?
Back home
You sleep, it breathes
It hits, you miss
You lose, it wins
It loves, you feel
And when you sleep
You bleed, indeed
You cry, but why?
Get up and try
You cross its eye
It laughs, you cry
You lay in bed
But you're not dead
Don't give up the things you dream and love
Promises they come and go
Made by friends and made by foes
Life is not a perfect road
Time is something we can't control
Get along, and one more time
Together try and thinking why
It reminds me every time
That fate cannot be always right
Let us try
Turn your back, it won't work out
Face your fears, embrace your faults
Oh, there's not a simple way
It doesn't matter, it will be OK
And I tried, but all this time
Have made me wise, I wonder why
I know it's time to face this fight
The time is right, you can't deny
Time is gone
I saw the man that I’ve become
Can't imagine all alone
Lost some opportunities
Gave up all of my deepest dreams
I look to my childhood
And remember how I imagined
I imagined the world so small
Small as my promises
