The Promise Lyrics

I can tell by the look in your eyes
the way you disguise, the way you feel about me
waiting for this moment to collapse
you know i tried to, oh god i tried to break through
and everytime i look into your eyes what do I see?
Inside of me?
waiting for this moment to collapse inside my mind.
This time we will run to anywhere you choose
I'll give you more than all
I'd slit my throat for just one glimpse into your heart
I can't take this anymore, the constant games you've been playing
Everytime you look my way, all the words you try to say are fallin apart. Where does that leave me?
Why is it everytime i close my eyes you're there?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Wow!!!! I get to comment first!!!

Anyways, I love BLFBE!!! But, I think this song is about... wait... anybody whose heard the songs or read the lyrics should get the general idea!!!

Yeah, I'm lazy too... But anyways, it seems to be about a girl messing with this guys head and heart. Either she's sending mixed signals, or isn't opening her heart up enough for him and he's trying to show her that she has nothing to be afraid of and that he'd do it just to show her.

God, I love this band. This song is okay, I like the meaning behind it, but my favorite is definitely Walk With Me. It's pretty much amazing.
