Story Behind The Song
I've known people in that situation, but have always kept my mouth shut to preserve the friendship, frequently regretting it later. The song gives me a place to say what I have been unable to bring myself to say to friends in real life. -BB

Lyrics
Is it unreal, can you not feel
The full impact
You won't ever get to have
Your secrets back
He is hoping that you understand
Take his hand
He'll lead you to the promise
Tell yourself your health, your welfare
Is worth the price
Of what you're missin', listen to
Your own advice
Love is like an ocean it's so deep
And in your sleep
It leads you to the promise
Is it too late to contemplate
A change of plan
You won't ever get this kind
Of chance again
He has seen a few things you have not
What he's got
Is a lot to promise
Tell yourself your health, your welfare
Is worth the price
Of what you're missin', listen to
Your own advice
Look and see what others have been through
Just like you
They believed the promise
For what it is to you
For what it is to me
For what it is
For what it is
For what
For what
For what
And in your dreams what's real
You cannot tell
But you fare well
Always waking up before
You take the fall you lose it all
Like all the rest
And then just call it your own fault
And make the best
Set adrift upon the raging sea
That in your dreams
Leads you to the promise
Make the best of moments while you can
Take his hand
And fulfill the promise
