Promise to Try

Little boy, don't you forget her face Laughing away your tears When she was the one who felt all the pain Little boy, never forget her eyes Keep them alive inside I promise to try, but it's not the same Keep your head held high, ride like the wind Never look behind, life isn't fair That's what you said, so I'll try not to care Little boy, don't run away so fast I think you forgot to kiss, kiss her goodbye Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall? Does she hear my voice in the night when I call? Wipe away all your tears It's gonna be alright I fought to be so strong, I guess you knew I was afraid you'd go away too Little boy, you've got to forget the past And learn to forgive me I promise to try, but it feels like a lie Don't let memory play games with your mind She's a faded smile frozen in time I'm still hanging on, but doing it wrong Can't kiss her goodbye, but I promise to try
