Lyrics
THE PROMISE
I don't want to talk about forever
I don't want to say I'll never leave
All I really want to do
Is do the best I can for you
I don't want to make a promise I can't keep
I don't want to think about perfection
I don't want to live a fantasy
I'll do everything I can
To prove that I'm a worthy man
I don't want to make a promise I can't keep
A promise should be sacred
That's what I was taught
Not a thing to give out carelessly
A promise can't be broken
Thrown away or bought
It surely can't be given out for free
Come and lay your head down on my pillow
Hold me like it's something that you mean
Tonight is all we have for now
Maybe that's enough somehow
I don't want to make a promise I can't keep
