I 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.
If you step back and realize I'm sure that you'll see,
That these words that were spoken eventually,
Will dwell in my conscience till my dying day.
Oh what can I say, to change your perception, want me by your side.
The fact that you moved on make me wanna cry.
If you open your door I'll be there with wide arms,
Just begging and praying for one more goodbye.
So I'll wait for you, even know you don't want me to,
Because I'm not over you, I promise,
This word they call love, come push or to shove.
I meant it and now I'm in tears, my love.
I keep telling myself that it's not what it seems
and wish that wouldn't keep haunting my dreams,
I'll shoot out of bed and wake up in a sweat,
How could I forget?
I imagined the worse when we were on the phone
As you sat there and told me that you were alone,
I could see him, I know how he makes you behave,
that this wasn't the girl that I kissed on our date.
But I'll wait for you, even know you don't want me to,
Because I'm not over you, I promise,
This word they call love, come push or to shove.
I meant it and now I'm in tears.
Because I'm not over you, I promise,
You won't see this face show up at your place,
Although I'm in town I'll stay here, my love.
And I should know better, give up while I can,
And prove to the world that I'll be my own man,
You broke me and took me along for the ride,
And this pain that you've left me should make me subside
but, I'm not over you, (I'm not over you, I'm not over you, I'm not over you)
I promise,
(Take him home, I'm alone, move along)
This word they call love, come push or to shove.
(I'll be stronger than all of you) (I wish I could do, anything)
I meant it and now I'm in tears.
(anything to get through) ('Cause I'm alone)
Because I'm not over you, I promise,
(Aaaaoh)
You won't see this face show up at your place,
(Don't let me go)
Although I'm in town I'll stay here.
Because I'm not over you, I promise, this word they call love, come push or to shove, I meant it and now I'm in tears, my love.
