Promises
Jhené Aiko feat. Miyagi & Namiko Lyrics

I've been coming home late night
I have been staying out late at night before coming home.

I've been sleeping past day light
I have been sleeping longer into the day than usual.

I'm waking up you're not by my side
When I wake up in the morning, you are not next to me as you used to be.

Baby that ain't right
This situation is not good or fair for us.

I wanna be there with you
I want to spend more time with you.

I really do be missing you
I truly miss you and think about you often.

Everything I do is for you
I do everything that I do with you in mind.

And I really do adore you
I deeply love and admire you.

You're getting so big now
You're growing up so quickly and becoming more mature.

You're making me so proud cuz
I am very proud of you because of what you achieve and how you behave.

You are such a star
You are incredibly talented and successful.

And you know that you are
You are aware of your own worth and potential.

So every single little moment
In every small or insignificant moment,

I can't be there to hold your hand
I cannot be physically present to support you constantly.

I need for you to know that
I want you to be aware of something important that follows.

Anything should happen, anything should happen
In case of unforeseen circumstances or tragedies,

'Cause anything could, if anything should happen
Since anything is possible and things may go wrong at any time.

Know that you'll be alright, know that you'll be alright
I want you to believe that you will be fine no matter what.

Just promise you'll be alright, promise you'll be alright
I want you to make a commitment to me that you will be strong and resilient through hard times.

If anything (Alright, promise I'll be alright)
If something bad happens (alright, I promise I'll be strong).

(Promise I'll be alright, promise I'll be alright)
(I promise I'll be okay, I promise I will).

If anything should happen (Promise I'll be alright)
If something happens unexpectedly (I promise I'll be strong).

(Promise I'll be alright, promise I'll be, promise I'll be, alright)
(I promise I will be strong, I promise that I will).

Swear that I can still feel you here
I have a strong feeling of your presence, as if you were still with me.

I just can't believe you're not here
It is hard for me to accept that you are not physically present and beside me.

I've been needing you
I often feel like I need your support and comfort.

All I dream is you
You are often on my mind, even in my dreams.

Don't think I can make it
I am uncertain if I have the strength and resilience to handle my struggles without you by my side.

But then I hear you say that
Then I remember your encouraging words and comforting voice.

I bet not do nothing crazy
I should not do anything irrational or impulsive due to sadness and grief.

'Cause Nami really needs you
Because our child really depends on you and needs your love and care.

And I would never leave you
I will never abandon you or give up on us.

'Cause I am in the stars
Because I am connected to the universe and beyond, and I believe in fate and destiny.

And everywhere you are
Wherever you go, you remain a part of me and my life.

Every single little moment
Every tiny or unimportant moment.

Every single bit of sunshine just
Every positive or encouraging aspect of life.

Know that I am right by your side
Remember that I am always there for you and supporting you, even when we're apart.

Know that you are right by my side
You are always near and present in my thoughts and heart.

So I'm gonna make you so proud
I will strive to make you feel even prouder of me and my achievements.

You don't ever have to worry 'bout me
You should not worry about me since I am determined to get through tough times without causing you concern.

Promise I'll be alright, promise I'll be alright
I strongly pledge that I will conquer difficulties and be strong.

Wish that you were here now
I miss you and wish you were here with me right now.

Promise I'll be alright, promise I'll be alright
I repeat my promise that I will thrive and be okay.

Promise I'll be alright, promise I'll be, promise I'll be
My assurance that I will overcome the obstacles and difficulties in my life.

Alright
It will be okay and I will manage.

Alright, alright, alright
Everything will turn out just fine, everything will be alright.

Everything is alright, everything's in your mind
The way you perceive things and handle them in your mind shapes the world around you, and everything will turn out to be alright.

Life is what you make it, life is what you make it
Your actions and attitude towards life determine what kind of life you will have.

And anything can happen, anything can happen
Anything is possible, including good or bad things.

But you just gotta get past it, you just gotta laugh at it
You need to find a way to overcome challenges, either by facing them head-on or by finding humor in them.

And anything can happen, you fall down get back up
You may stumble or fail, but you can always get back up and keep going forward.

And you better believe that nothing holding me back
You can trust me that I will not let anything stop me from achieving my goals and dreams.

So everything is alright, everything is alright
All is well and will continue to be well.

Promise I'll be
I promise that I will.

Promise you'll be, promise we'll be alright
I want us to make a commitment to each other that we will both be strong and thrive together.
