The Promise
InsideOut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you need a friend,
Don't look to a stranger.
You know in the end,
I'll always be there.

And when you're in doubt,
Or when you're in danger,
Take a look all around.
I'll be there.

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way they I planned them to be.
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me.
I Promise You, I Promise You I Will.

When your day is though,
And so is your temper,
You know what to do.
I'll always be there.

Sometimes if I shout,
It's not what's intended,
These words just come out.
With no cross to bear.

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way they I planned them to be.
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me.
I Promise You, I Promise You I Will.

I gotta tell ya. I gotta tell ya. I gotta tell ya. I gotta tell ya.

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way they I planned them to be.
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me.
I Promise You, I Promise You I Will.

I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say.
I know they don't sound the way they I planned them to be.
But if you wait around a while I'll make you fall for me.
I Promise You, I Promise You I Will.





I will. I will. I will. I will.
