Listen to poem:

You Promised Me: with full song and band audio

Vs.1) Up again, in the night
                             
No sound, no sight
           
Only thoughts endlessly through my mind
                         
I see your smile…I see your face
        
And I just can't erase all the plans that we .      
                                         
Made for our lives
                                          
Chorus) You promised me you said
          
Forever but instead, here I am
                                          
All alone in the night.
                              
Vs.2.) Another day, to get through
                          
Without love…without you
                   
Just one step at a time…I'll get by
         
But I miss how we'd laugh at the drop of a 

hat, and I can't even smile anymore.
         
Chorus) You promised me… you said, 

forever but instead, here I am taking one 
             
step at a time
                                 
Vs.3. I'll be fine, yes I will
                        
Cause I have some hope still
                  
That one day all the pain will be gone
                         
Time heals wounds…or so they say
                           
But I just can't see the way
                              
My heart will heal without the piece you 

stole away
                     
Chorus) You promised me you said. 

Forever but instead…here I am… holding 
                                     
the pieces of my heart!
