Promise You Songtext
von We Came as Romans

You said you weren′t in any pain on the day you passed away
Or your week before in coma
Begging that you'd just come home, and

I can see your smile again
Anything to numb that pain that I′ve been living in
A room of family and friends
Crying on each other 'cause we're all so broken
(′Cause we′re all so broken)

They said you weren't in any pain
I came and saw you everyday
Holding tighter onto your hand
Begging that you′ll just wake up, and

I started smoking again
Anything to force myself into a deep breath
Get enough oxygen
Cry it back out 'til I feel less broken
(I know I′m still broken)


And we sat down once
Wrote about all the fear that lives inside you
Defenseless
Wrote about another time I swore I lost you
Then I said
That I've never had a prouder moment
Than when you made that promise
Than when you promised me
(Than when you promised me)
(Promised me)

Watching you breathe into machines
Wishing I could say it was all a dream
Emotions I didn′t know that I had
Begging just to keep it shut out, and

I started smoking again
Anything to force myself into a deep breath
Get enough oxygen
Cry it back out 'cause you're not coming home again

And in that great tune
I could prior my giving
I do think you′re right and you′re right, Karl
It's not your business, and that′s all
However, we gon' have to determine it


And we sat down once
Wrote about all the fear that lives inside you
Defenseless
Wrote about another time I swore I lost you
Then I said
That I′ve never had a prouder moment
Than when you made that promise
Than when you promised me
Than when you promised me

And I promise you
I will never stop saying your name
