Promise You

You said you weren't in any pain

On the day you passed away

Or your week before in coma

Begging that you'd just come home and

I can see your smile again

Anything to numb the pain that I've been living in

A room of family and friends

Crying on each other 'cause we're all so broken

('Cause we're all so broken)

They said you weren't in any pain

I came and saw you every day

Holding tighter onto your hand

Begging that you'll just wake up and

I started smoking again

Anything to force myself into a deep breath

Get enough oxygen

Cry it back out 'til I feel less broken

I know I'm still broken

And we sat down once

Wrote about all the fear that lives inside you

Defenseless

Wrote about another time I swore I lost you

Then I said

That I've never had a prouder moment

Than when you made that promise

Than when you promised me

(Than when you promised me)

(Promised me)

Watching you breathe into machines

Wishing I could say it was all a dream

Emotions I didn't know that I had

Begging just to keep it shut out and

I started smoking again

Anything to force myself into a deep breath

Get enough oxygen

Cry it back out 'cause you're not coming home again

And we sat down once

Wrote about all the fear that lives inside you

Defenseless

Wrote about another time I swore I lost you

Then I said

That I've never had a prouder moment

Than when you made that promise

Than when you promised me

Than when you promised me

And I promise you

I will never stop saying your name

And I promise you

I will never stop saying your name
