promises.

I’m starring in your eyes
they’re quite as blue as mine
there’s so much I recognise

They say I’m much like you
more than the same blood between us two
but you still left me behind

All these nights these words in my head
Always mom that put me to bed
Remember things that I never said
All these years these words in my head
Always mom that put me to bed
Regretting things that I never said
Would you be here instead?

Stop making promises
Please stop making promises
No more making promises
Can you stop making promises?

I know you never meant it wrong
I’m older now and get along
Still always knew where I belong

And what used to make me sad
Now feels half as bad
Cause you’ll always be my dad

All these nights these words in my head
Always mom that put me to bed
Remember things that I never said
All these years these words in my head
Always mom that put me to bed
Regretting things that I never said
Would you be here instead?

And in some ways I’m happy
It all went that way
Cause somehow just one day
Has lifted all the weight
Cause in some days we’re able
To start this all again
It’s just a few more lonely nights away

Stop making promises
Please stop making promises
No more making promises
Can you stop making promises?
