Promises Lyrics by Tricky Youth

The Further Down We Go, The Less I Recognize

2022

[Intro]
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along

[Chorus]
Hiding in the doorway
I was broken when you found me
I couldn't let you face me
So I had to use a fake name
Angels all around me
I was tired, I was lonely
Hiding in the doorway
I was broken when you found me

[Verse 1]
I can't get sentimental 'bout what I can't understand
Fucked up, bleeding while I'm lying in your bed
I know I talk too much and mostly I don’t make sense
Maybe things will start to change if I accept the blame

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I was hiding the doorway
I’m not the way you found me
I’m sorry that it took me
So long to learn to say sorry

[Chorus]
Hiding in the doorway
I was broken when you found me
I couldn't let you face me
So I had to use a fake name
Angels all around me
I was tired, I was lonely
Hiding in the doorway
I was broken when you found me

[Verse 2]
It gets so hard to feel the further that we get away
I think with time I remember things differently
I think about the laughing, I don't think about the pain
I can't find the words, but I think you know what I mean

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I sent a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
I sent a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah

[Chorus]
Hiding in the doorway
I was broken when you found me
I couldn't let you face me
So I had to use a fake name
Angels all around me
I was tired, I was lonely
Hiding in the doorway
I was broken when you found me

[Outro]
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
Send a prayer right to the sun, but
You were there all along, yeah
