the promise

Now you're gone, I'm back on the shore
Looking out for loves that I lost
I pray for waves who all came back before
To bring you back once more

You told me to wait, I've done it all night long
And now I can't take the weight of being alone
And you whispered "forever"
The day before you left

I'm a ghost in this universe
'Cause I'm locked into a promise
I let the waves who all came back before
Swallow me whole once more

You told me to wait, I've done it all night long
And now I can't take the weight of being alone
And you whispered "forever"
The day before you left
