The Promise Lyrics
I walk through the door, you don't even smile at me anymore
Like New York's December I'm longing for some warmth in the cold
There are times when I think the least you could do is just let me go
'Cause you're abusing me - accusing me - I'm drowning in my own tears
But I made you a promise I'll never forget,
Each word was this heart beating inside my chest,
If we can't be forever we're both gonna lose,
So don't give up on me - and I won't give up on you
When you say goodbye, I wonder if it might be the last time
I see you with that lingering disappointment in your eyes
Then you'll come home and I somehow believe that I'm still all alone
Did you choose me - just to prove to me - you can bring me to my knees
Still I made you a promise I'll never forget,
Each word was this heart beating inside my chest,
If we can't be forever we're both gonna lose,
So don't give up on me - and I won't give up on you
I've been dreaming of this, I've been believing this, I've been conceiving this
All my life
I've never wanted more, than what we had before
I pray that it's not lost
I made you a promise I'll never forget,
Each word was this heart beating inside my chest,
If we can't be forever we're both gonna lose,
So don't give up on me and I won't give up on you
So I'll wait for tomorrow
Maybe she'll smile at me this time..
Like New York's December I'm longing for some warmth in the cold
There are times when I think the least you could do is just let me go
'Cause you're abusing me - accusing me - I'm drowning in my own tears
Each word was this heart beating inside my chest,
If we can't be forever we're both gonna lose,
So don't give up on me - and I won't give up on you
I see you with that lingering disappointment in your eyes
Then you'll come home and I somehow believe that I'm still all alone
Did you choose me - just to prove to me - you can bring me to my knees
Each word was this heart beating inside my chest,
If we can't be forever we're both gonna lose,
So don't give up on me - and I won't give up on you
All my life
I've never wanted more, than what we had before
I pray that it's not lost
Each word was this heart beating inside my chest,
If we can't be forever we're both gonna lose,
So don't give up on me and I won't give up on you
Maybe she'll smile at me this time..

i love love love this song! i heard it played by the lead singer of this band in an acoustic show in a small, but very lively bar in Windsor, ON.. I bought the cd then and there.
I think this song is about coming to a cross roads in a relationship. He is telling his girl he won't let her go without a fight but she's got to feel the same. He won't give up on her if she doesn't give up on him.. I think we've all felt this before. I just can't get enough of the last line 'so i'll wait for tomorrow.. maybe she'll smile at me this time..'
Such a good song
I(L) it:)
