The Promise
Jamie Lancaster Lyrics

If you need a friend, don't look to a stranger
If you ever feel lonely or need someone to talk to, don't hesitate to come to me, someone who knows you well, rather than seeking help from someone who doesn't.

You know in the end, I'll always be there
No matter what happens, I will always stand by you and support you. I'll be there for you whenever you need me.

But when you're in doubt, and when you're in danger
If you're ever unsure or afraid, and you don't know what to do, I'll be there to help you find your way and keep you safe.

Take a look all around, and I'll be there
Wherever you are, whatever situation you're in, just look around, and you'll find that I'm always present, watching over you, and ready to help you out.

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I'm sorry if my message isn't coming across as smoothly as I wanted it to, but that's because I'm really trying to think of the perfect words to express how I feel.

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
Even though I'm putting in the effort to choose my words carefully, I know they might not be coming out exactly as I had intended them to.

But if you'll wait around awhile, I'll make you fall for me
If you can just be patient and give me a chance to show you how I really feel, I promise that I'll win your heart over and make you love me.

I promise, I promise you I will
I'm making you a solemn pledge that I will do everything in my power to make you believe in us and show you how important you are to me.

When your day is through, and so is your temper
When you've had a long day, and you feel like your emotions are running high, don't worry, I'll be there to help you calm down and relax.

You know what to do, I'm gonna always be there
You can always count on me to know how to help you feel better and to be there beside you through all the ups and downs of life.

Sometimes if I shout, it's not what's intended
If I ever raise my voice, it's not because I want to hurt or offend you, it's just that my emotions are running high, and I can't always control my tone.

These words just come out, with no cross to bear
Sometimes the words I say might seem harsh or unkind, but I promise you they're not meant to cause any pain, and I carry no ill will towards you at all.

And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
Even if I had to travel to every corner of the globe and put in endless effort, I would do whatever it takes to win your heart and make you love me.

I promise you, I promise you I will
Again, I'm making you a solemn vow that I'll do everything in my power to make you realize how much I care for you and how much you mean to me.

I gotta tell you, need to tell you, got to tell you, I've got to tell you
I just have to express how I feel, I can't hold it in any longer, no matter how awkward or uncomfortable it might be to say these things out loud.

I will
I'm reinforcing my promise to you one last time, to show you that I'm completely committed to making things work between us, no matter what it takes.
