Rewritten Promise

Oh, I promised that I'll always be beside you

Hold your hand in any storms that we'll go through

But even from day one, it's just to good to be true

That's why I said I couldn't deserve you

Oh, I promised that I'll take your fears and worries

Be the knight that you have always waited for

But I always felt alone, now I reap what I have sown

I went back to the chains I've always known

Just because we cannot stay together

Doesn't mean I gave up on forever

I won't keep the truth from you, even if I can't keep you

I hope the next one, will be so, much better to you

Oh, I promised that I'll be there when you're ninety

Nagging you to exercise and be healthy

It wasn't all a lie, our defeats and victories

But I understand why you can't be with me

Oh, I promised that I'll never be unfaithful

But all the years of habit still had its strong pull

I really tried my best, everyday put to the test

Only God Himself can help me through this mess

Just because we cannot stay together

Doesn't mean I gave up on forever

I won't keep the truth from you, even if I can't keep you

I hope the next one, will be so, much better to you

Just because we didn't get "our ending"

It doesn't mean you won't have new beginnings

He works all things for the good, and I never understood

His plans and His ways are much better for me

And you

I hope the next one, will be so, much better to you
