Promises
Burning Heads Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still remember what we used to say
When we said "we're just as one"
We were heading for the promised land
Keep the faith, I'm still close to you.
Nothing can separate us now

in the hardtimes
I'll be by your side
Let's find a way out
I won't change the way I look at you
You're not a alien

there's something now in your blood
I know it hurts, it hurts you deep inside
Don't let despair invade your heart
I'll be there, I won't let you down
I promise nothing can separate us now

in the hardimes, I'll be by your side




Let's find a way out
Together
