Promise Lyrics by Yorke

Liberosis - EP

2020

[Verse 1]
I swore to you back when we were younger
That I’d build you a home and a garden
I never thought you’d never want this
I made a promise to your father
Was it enough? Oh was I ever enough?
I gave you everything, oh, I gave you love
I didn’t think you’d give up easy
‘Cause I made a promise to your mother
[Pre-Chorus]
I watch you float, I slowly sink
I know now that I’m already gone
You’re haunting me, out of my reach
You hold him and I don’t have a choice
[Chorus]
Down, down the further I go
Drinking to bottom like I should’ve known
You’ve played me like a halftime comeback
Now I need to brace for impact
Down, down the further I go
Drinking to the bottom like I should’ve known
You’ve played me like a halftime comeback
And I don’t have a choice
[Verse 2]
Remember your sister when she called me
And told me if I would ever leave you
She’d curse me with fire, she’d call me a liar
I made a promise to your sister
Was it enough? Oh was I ever enough?
I gave you everything ‘til you left me numb
Don’t wanna hear all of your reasons
‘Cause I made a promise not to grieve you
I made a promise to your sister
Swore to myself I’d never leave you
I made a promise to your sister
When I made a promise not to leave you
[Pre-Chorus]
I watch you float, I slowly sink
I know now that I’m already gone
You’re haunting me, out of my reach
You hold him and I don’t have a choice
[Chorus]
Down, down the further I go
Drinking the bottom like I should’ve known
You’ve played me like a halftime comeback
Now I need to brace for impact
Down, down the further I go
Drinking to the bottom like I should’ve known
You’ve played me like a halftime come back
And I don’t have a choice
