Promise You - Leddra Chapman

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
