The Only Promise That Remains Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When the ground beneath you starts a shaking
Shaking
And you forget the place we came from
Came from
When your lost and looking for a way home
Your way home to me
I'll come out and find you
When the world around you starts a moving
Moving
And you should wonder if I still love you
Love you
If you feel a darkness coming
Rising inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home

[Chorus]
And after all the sky is falling down
And after all the waters washed away
My love's the only promise that remains

[Verse 2]
When your doubts have got you thinking
Thinking
Nothings ever really sacred
Sacred
And you're afraid you might believe it
Believe in me
And I'll give you a region
Because the world around us keeps on moving
Moving
And there's no doubt that
I still love you
Love you
So when you feel a darkness coming
Rising inside
I'll make a light to guide you back home
[Chorus][x2]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
