Promise You

(album: Darkbloom - 2022)

You said you weren't in any pain
On the day you passed away
Or your week before your coma
Begging that you'd just come home and
I can see your smile again
Anything to numb that pain that I've been living in
A room of family and friends
Crying on each other 'cause we're all so broken
'Cause we're all so broken

They said you weren't in any pain
I came and saw you everyday
Holding tighter onto your hand
Begging that you'll just wake up and
I started smoking again
Anything to force myself into a deep breath
Get enough oxygen
Cry it back out 'til I feel less broken
I know I'm still broken

And we sat down once
Wrote about all the fear that lives inside you
Defenseless
Wrote about another time I swore I lost you
Then I said
That I've never had a prouder moment
Than when you made that promise
Than when you promised me

Than when you promised me
(Promised me)

Watching you breathe into machines
Wishing I could say it was all a dream
Emotions I didn't know that I had
Begging just to keep it shut out and
I started smoking again
Anything to force myself into a deep breath
Get enough oxygen
Cry it back out 'cause you're not coming home again

And we sat down once
Wrote about all the fear that lives inside you
Defenseless
Wrote about another time I swore I lost you
Then I said
That I've never had a prouder moment
Than when you made that promise
Than when you promised me

And I promise you
I will never stop saying your name
And I promise you
I will never stop saying your name
