The Promise

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..
