Girl Of Promise

(album: Listen Up - 2009)

Girl of promise, they said to me
I'll hitch myself onto your star
Don't follow me please
Cause I'm banking on all that you are
To carry me out to your opportunity

But I turned out to be a failure at so many things
Lost hope, when I was flourishing, let go
When it was everything to me
I turned out to be a failure in so many ways
Gave out, when help was on the way, let you down
When you were counting on me

Night, comes quietly
And it calls for the stars
The star that I may never be
But I promised them what I couldn't give
Or was it them who promised me
They would carry me out beyond this indignity

But I turned out to be a failure at so many things
Lost hope, when I was flourishing, let go
When it was everything to me
I turned out to be a failure in so many ways
Gave out, when help was on the way, let you down
When you were counting on me

So take your dreams that were never mine
Take everything that you have invested in
Cause this girl of promise can't promise you anything

Cause you turned out to be a failure at so many things
Lost hope, when I was flourishing, let go
When it was everything to me
You turned out to be a failure in so many ways
Gave out, when help was on the way, let me down
When I was counting on you
I was counting on you

I was counting on you
I was counting on you
Counting on you
I was counting on you
I was counting on you
Counting on you
I was counting on you
I was counting on you
I was...
