Promises Lyrics by EXES

Once More, with Feeling

2019

[Verse 1]
Almost found heaven, but I missed a step
Tried to move on, but I can't forget
And I wonder if I'm in your head, still
Maybe we were never meant to get this far
Maybe we fell for the sake of art
But I promise that you got my heart, still

[Refrain]
I'm better off believin' I can't live without you
Everybody else I know is nothin' like you

[Chorus]
All the stars fall apart in the galaxy, I
Promises can be hard to keep, hard to keep, I
All the lines, they all blur when we fall asleep, I
Why did you have to fall for me, fall for me? I

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
And I'm scared of letting anybody close to me
I'm out of shape like out-of-date groceries
And my heart is falling from my sleeve
I don't know if it'll come back to me
And I don't care if I'm losing sleep
The only time I visit you is in my dreams
Maybe you were never just mine to keep
'Cause you don't really feel like a part of me no more

[Refrain]
I'm better off believin' I can't live without you
Everybody else I know is nothin' like you

[Chorus]
All the stars fall apart in the galaxy, I
Promises can be hard to keep, hard to keep, I
All the lines, they all blur when we fall asleep, I
Why did you have to fall for me, fall for me? I

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh

[Bridge]
And I'm not ready to see you this happy
My smile is slowly evaporating
Gone, you were wrong
I can still feel lonely without you
And you call it a lesson
But two years later, I'm stuck in the mess that we have made
Feelings fade, but, what if mine still linger?

[Chorus]
All the lines, they all blur when we fall asleep, I
Why did you have to fall for me, fall for me? I
All the stars fall apart in the galaxy, I
Promises can be hard to keep, hard to keep, I
All the lines, they all blur when we fall asleep, I
Why did you have to fall for me, fall for me? I

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh ooh-ooh
