Lyrics Promise You - Leddra Chapman

Promise You

Take a picture hold it close
Put it in a box so you don’t choke
Bury it underneath your feelings and stares
Make a heart shape with your hands
Have a little faith, they’ll understand
Listen
'Cause you are the only reason I am here
Do I have to walk on knives for you to forgive me?
I’d love to promise you
That it’ll all end in music and the lights
Shine through a dark room
Filtered rays of kisses — that’s not life, it’s not fair
But who the hell am I when you’re not there?
I’d love to promise you
Build it all up in our heads
Those monsters underneath the bed
Bury the feet in to the next love that appears
'Cause you are the only reason I am here
And I’ll walk on the thousand knives for you to forgive me
Believe me
I’d love to promise you
That it’ll all end in music and the lights
Shine through a dark room
Filtered rays of kisses — that’s not life, it’s not fair
But who the hell am I when you’re not there?
I’d love to promise you
That it’ll end in moonlight
And our love will so through the sky
But I’m not naive anymore (naive anymore)
There is a very thin line between love and hate
Don’t you find?
it doesn’t always end in music
And dancing (and dancing)
I’d love to promise you
That it’ll all end in music and the lights
Shine through a dark room
Filtered rays of kisses — that’s not life, it’s not fair
But who the hell am I when you’re not there?
I’d love to promise you
I’d love to promise you
That it’ll all end in music and the lights
Shine through a dark room
Filtered rays of kisses — that’s not life and it’s not fair
But who the hell am I when you’re not there?
I’d love to promise you
