Promise

[Verse 1] I've been meaning to keep you closer It gets hard as we get older Time apart always seems to weigh on my shoulders But whatever you do Remember what we've been through Because I told you To watch out for those vultures They go straight for the soul first Then move on to your heart Then pick your life apart Until they damn near own you [Bridge] I just hope that you are listening To the words I am speaking I'm not one for doing preaching But you're falling off the deep end [Verse 2] And I told you Don't ever tell your secrets Always try to keep them Hold them til you're finished Oh, you're to blame Cause then they'll always own you Own you Own you Cause now they damn near own you And it's a shame [Hook] Promise me you'll never change Promise me you'll stay the same Promise me I'll never fade Promises I doubt you made I can't promise anything Nothing's ever guaranteed Nothing ever stays the same My life is just one big game That you play
