Song Description

Promise (three little words)

It’s six o’clock in the morning, and I can’t get to bed
There’s no doubt that it’s you, stealing ‘round in my head
Yeah, I took you for granted
But you made me say “I love you baby”
I would usually retire

Don’t like facing my shadow, just to see ahead
I can say I love you now, it’s easier said

‘cause I promised the things that I never did
and I promised the words that I never said
and all of the dreams meant to hurt
they always wind up my regret

Three little words…

‘cause you never really, wanted me
your insecurity
that you couldn’t bring me to my knees
I’m something that meant, an anchor to reality
A liability, to be blamed on me

‘cause you never really, wanted me to be
it’s your insecurity, that you couldn’t bring me to my knees
I’m something that meant, an anchor to reality
A liability to be blamed on me…
