Promise Lyrics

I bet that it's better now that I'm gone
I laugh at myself when I think of the times I was wrong
I got carried away from the things that made me feel bright
By myself this time I'll shine

I just can't promise you
what I promised you for a while
I just can't promise you
what I promised you for a while
For a while

And I bet that you're better now that I'm gone
Now you can have all of those expensive things you want
I got carried away from the things that made me feel so bright
By myself this time I'll shine

I just can't promise you
what I promised you for a while
I just can't promise you
what I promised you for a while
For a while

By myself this time I'll shine

I just can't promise you
what I promised you for a while
I just can't promise you
what I promised you for a while
I tell myself all the things
that make me try to smile
I just can't promise you
what I promised you for a while

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.
