"Promise" lyrics

I got this feelin' that my heart stopped beatin'
When I finally got out of your way (your way)
I got this feelin' that the world stopped turnin'
When I said, "It was all okay." (Yeah)
I got this feelin' that my heart stopped beatin'
Though I said, "I'm fine", I will never stop bleedin'
I got this feeling, and my soul starts stinging when I realize...

You were determined to move on
To leave these ruins
And I was naive to be so honest
The truth comes out again

So this is the end
You know, I don't pretend that I
Have always been, the most wonderful friend

But I would never break a promise
Promise

And now I'll never know what could have been
And every second's got me wondering
Oh yeah

If I let you leave, and keep my promise until the bitter end
Then am I even being honest, and not playing pretend?

So this is the end
And when you leave here my friend
I hope that you understand
I'll never see you again

Cause I would never break a promise
Promise (Ooh)

No, I could never break a promise
Promise (Yeah)

I am determined to be honest (Oh yeah)

(Oh yeah)

Be careful out there...
(Be careful, be careful, I can't protect you)
Be careful out there... (Oh yeah)
(Be careful, be careful, I'm gonna miss you)
Be careful out there...
(Be careful, be careful, I can't protect you)
Be careful out there... (Oh yeah)
(Be careful, be careful, I'm gonna miss you)
Be careful out there...
(Be careful, be careful, I can't protect you)
Be careful out there...
(Be careful, be careful, I'm gonna miss you)
Be careful out there... (Oh yeah)

Be careful out there...
(Be careful, be careful, I can't protect you)
(Be careful, be careful, I'm gonna miss you)
