I Promise

[Verse 1]
I been watching the birds as they go
I been keeping my bank account low
I been keeping my end of the deal
With Saint Anthony and Saint Thomas

My little sister gave it a hell of a try
You know I hear it gets worse when you die
I can't believe you got me waiting for another year
But if you ever make it back I'll be here

[Chorus 1]
And I'll be ready, I promise
I promise

[Verse 2]
I hear your voice say things to me
But I get up for nothing cause I'm afraid to see
But every day is so twisted, I know you won't give in
But I'll still be here if you want me back again

[Chorus 2]
I promise
I promise

[Bridge]
I promise you can always come home
I promise you can always come home

[Verse 3]
I try to count the chimes, water the flowers above the sink sometimes
I listen to your records; do you still have mine?
Every day is so twisted, I know you won't give in
So I promise not to try to make it breathe again

[Chorus 3]
I promise
