Promise Lyrics

[Hook: Daniel de Bourg]
This much I promise
You ain’t gotta cry no more for me
I’m gonna make it easy for you
This much I promise
You ain’t gotta deal no more with the guilt
I’ll die before I let you kill me
This much I promise

[Verse 1: Serius]
Look, we made promises, honestly I don’t know what happened
It seems that we came to a point we stopped laughing
You never see it coming, it’s like a slap in the face
A cold shower, we must have tapped the breaks
And they say when a door close another one opens
I was running towards the first one trying to hold it
Hopeless
I guess that I was too blind to notice
Now I let you go knowing everything is OK
Knowing if you stayed it would probably give us more pain
I’d rather be lonely than make you smile again
I’d rather be lonely to feel alive again
I remember when I told you I will never make you cry
And I can finally achieve it if I let you fly
So let me keep a promise, better late than never
I won’t be the reason why you cry again ever
[Hook]

[Verse 2: Sirius]
I hid the pictures of us in a box, there’s dust on the frames
And about as much to do as there’s nothing to say
I hope you’re living life though, hell if I know
You became a stranger from my past when I let go
But I need you to know, I tried to make up
For every mistake, you know it’s not like I just gave up
And I remember when you made me say that I would always be a part of your life
Guess you forgot it, right?
We’ve been growing apart for so long
My last words ended up being a monologue
I’ve been killing myself trying to analyze and understand
I’m done letting you have the upper hand
I’d rather be alone and make you happy
If that’s what it takes I’m walking away gladly
I put us back in the box, close it and put it away
I swear that’ll be the last promise I make

[Hook x2]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
