"The Promise" lyrics

"The Promise"

Who is it you again thought you left
But you never go too far
Remember when we overslept
That morning when our thing fell apart

But I never learn. I always lust
And over trust
I do it to myself
But I can't be burying these feelings
When it's the best thing that I ever felt

You got my promise again
You had me pining when you left
Knowing it's been ages
I'm taking it in
Thought I was fine
Need to leave you behind

Maybe by September I
Would have tried enough of other stuff
To know that you weren't right
But we never learn
We always lust and over trust
It happens overnight

I don't wanna be your enemy or
Something you need to pass the time
So excuse me if this comes as green
But sometimes I just wanna go back and rewind

You got my promise again
You had me pining when you left
Knowing it's been ages
I'm taking it in
Thought I'd be fine
Need to leave you behind
Need to leave you behind

It's been a long time
Same decisions I make
Slowly lead me back to you

I'm in the open
Lose all sense of knowing
Are you onto someone new?

It's been a burden
But the burden I'll take
For a day or two

It leaves me
Longing for a certain moment
I hear a familiar tune
