"I Promise" lyrics

If you step back and realize, I'm sure that you'll see
That these words that were spoken, eventually
Will dwell in my conscience 'til my dying day
Oh, what can I say

To change your perception, want me by your side
The fact that you've moved on makes me want to cry
And if you open your door, I'll be there with arms wide
Just begging and praying for one more goodbye

So I'll wait for you
Even though you don't want me to

Because I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love, come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears
My love
Oh, my love

I keep telling myself that it's not what it seems
And wish that you wouldn't keep haunting my dreams
I'll shoot out of bed and wake up in a sweat
How could I forget?

I imagined the worst when we were on the phone
As you sat there and told me that you were alone
I could see him, I know how he makes you behave
That this wasn't the girl that I kissed on our date

But I'll wait for you
Even though you don't want me to

Because I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love, come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you, I promise
You won't see this face show up at your place
Although I'm in town, I'll stay here
My love
Oh, my love
My love
Oh, my love

And I should know better, give up while I can
And prove to the world that I'll be my own man
You broke me and took me along for the ride
And this pain that you've left me should make me subside

But I'm not over you, I promise
(I'm not over you, I'm not over you, I'm not over you)
This word they call love, come push or to shove
(I wish I could do anything to get you back)
I meant it and now I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you, I promise ('Cause I'm over)
You won't see this face show up at your place (Don't let me go)
Although I'm in town, I'll stay here
'Cause I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love, come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears, my love
