I Promise You ft. Alex James-Hatton & Sophie-Rose Middleton Lyrics

I can see the pain behind your eyes

You say you're okay, with your little white lies

But I see you trying to hold back a river

But there are some storms that we cannot weather

I see in you a reflection of me

Not who I am now but who I used to be

You see I have been where you are now

Where your inner thoughts are so damn loud

You can barely speak or make a sound

I have some promises for you

Hear me out

I promise you, a day will come

When time has healed that part of you that came undone

I promise you, trust me I know

In time you won't feel there's a rock in your throat that won't go

I promise you

I promise you

It's not the same, it can't be the same

You may think that you know but you weren't to blame

It's because of me, I deserve what I've learned

And I wear my scars like the bridges I've burned

Tell me how can it be the same

When there's blood on my hands, how could you understand

Tell me it's all gonna change

When I had her life in my hands and I let it all slip away

And the world feels much colder with each passing day, and I

Pray

For someone to take me so far from this place

Maybe I will return to the river's embrace

And I promise you

This grief is my own

You're not alone

And it's burning a hole through my chest

Deep down in my bones

And I promise you

Something's gotta give

No

Would she want you to throw it away

I don't

Or would she want you to live

She'd want me to live

I promise you

Woah

I don't know

Need you to show

Need you to show me

I will promise you

A day is gonna come, woah

When time will heal that part of you that came undone

And I promise you

Trust me I know

How do you know?

I've been dying to breathe,

But I need to believe I can grow

I have been where you are

I know hurt leaves a scar

You're not alone

Yes I promise you

This could be real

I don't know how to feel like you

And what if I'm not enough

Trust me I know

How

Many years ago, in a broken home

Thea's father died

It was all my fault

Silently suffering

I should have known

I should've saved him

I could've helped him to cope

I saw his body swing from a rope

I walked in and his hands were cold

Worst of all, I had to tell Thea

Your daddy's not coming home
