Promise to Keep
'A Promise to Keep'
by Brandi Carlile
I still talk to you in my sleep
I don't say much 'cause the hurt runs too deep
I gave you the moon and the stars to keep
But you gave them back to me
The hill I'm walking up is gettin' good and steep
But I'm still looking for a promise even I can keep
I still lay on my side of the bed
Dance alone when the last bottle's spent
Memory's like a river runnin through my head
I'll have me an ocean before I'm dead
The hill I'm walking up is gettin' good and steep
But I'm still looking for a promise even I can keep
I still whisper sweet words to you
When I'm busy with nothin' to do
I pray to god that my words ring true
And that your words might reach me too
The hill I'm walking up is gettin' good and steep
But I'm still looking for a promise even I can keep
My hearts in pieces so please understand
I try to jump but I've nowhere to land
So give me your heart and I'll give you my hand
Try as goddamn hard as I can
The hill I'm walking up is gettin' good and steep
But I'm still looking for a promise even I can keep
