Promise You

[Verse 1]
You said you weren't in any pain
On the day you passed away
Or your week before in coma
Begging that you’d just come home and
I can see your smile again
Anything to numb the 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)

[Verse 2]
They said you weren't in any pain
I came and saw you every day
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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
(Than when you promised me)
(Promised me)

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
And I promise you
I will never stop saying your name
And I promise you
I will never stop saying your name
