Promise Songtext
von Yorke

I swore to you back when we were younger
That I′d build you a home and a garden
I never thought you'd never want this
I made a promise to your father
Was it enough? Oh was I ever enough?
I gave you everything, oh, I gave you love
I didn′t think you'd give up easy
'Cause I made a promise to your mother

I watch you float, I slowly sink
I know now that I′m already gone
You′re haunting me, out of my reach
You hold him and I don't have a choice


Down, down the further I go
Drinking to bottom like I should′ve known
You've played me like a halftime comeback
Now I need to brace for impact
Down, down the further I go
Drinking to the bottom like I should′ve known
You've played me like a halftime comeback
And I don′t have a choice

Remember your sister when she called me
And told me if I would ever leave you
She'd curse me with fire, she'd call me a liar
I made a promise to your sister
Was it enough? Oh was I ever enough?
I gave you everything ′til you left me numb
Don′t wanna hear all of your reasons
'Cause I made a promise not to grieve you

I made a promise to your sister
Swore to myself I′d never leave you
I made a promise to your sister
When I made a promise not to leave you

I watch you float, I slowly sink
I know now that I'm already gone
You′re haunting me, out of my reach
You hold him and I don't have a choice


Down, down the further I go
Drinking the bottom like I should′ve known
You've played me like a halftime comeback
Now I need to brace for impact
Down, down the further I go
Drinking to the bottom like I should've known
You′ve played me like a halftime come back
And I don′t have a choice
