Promises

by Ms Joanna Dark   Jun 26, 2008


There's so much meaning behind my "i love you"
remember when your's was that way too.
before the fights and the awful long nights
when kisses could make the whole world right
i told you your arms were like my home
and you promised i'd never be alone
and i remember way back in the beginning
when love wasnt at all about winning
you said that as your one and only girl
you'd do what you could to give me the world
but now something seems so off track
and what's done is done, we can't go back
the fights we had and the things we had said
i cant believe we no longer share that bed
im left alone with memories these nights
and i know somewhere you're out there alright
how can something this terrible to me
leave you feeling like now the world is free
everyday I have tears falling down this face
because without you here, i feel misplaced
i never said i wanted to be without your arms
now it seems im alone with the world's harms
remember the days when you'd just watch me sleep
and you knew this heart was yours to keep
the days when you'd rather die than see me hurt
but now my tears cant even stain your shirt
how can so much so quickly change
why does this love now seem so strange
i want this all to go back the way it was
when questions were answered with more than because
i miss those days when you'd just hold me tight
and promised me everything would be alright
the stars in my eyes, everyone could then see
but it feels like those stars were stolen from me
with the new seperation now holding us apart
show me baby you still want this heart
i dont want to be in this battle alone
promise me your arms can still be home
I'll do what i can, to make it thru
but baby, promise me you love me too.
