Promises
Mallory Knox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said I'll be there to the end from the start cause I made that vow when you stole my heart
And it's the hardest thing to see the pain thats in your eyes
And when the walls cave in I will pull you out
When the ground's shaking I will hold you down
And I swear to God that we'll make it out alive

So look up look up when the sky is falling
Look up, look up can you hear me calling
Look up, look up when the sky is falling
Look up, look up, look up, look up

Just drive, just drive, just drive away
I know it's hard to hear it but I've gotta say
From the moment you came, to the second you left
Theres' not a single minute that I don't regret

And those promises, that I said I'd save, for the darkest day I'll keep them now

Those promises, this promise kept
You took my heart the day you left
Can't understand the reasons why
But I can't stop this rage inside
Look at the stars I think of you
You turn around and fall out of view
Well that is that, I gotta say
I hope your happy in this mess you made

Just drive, just drive, just drive away
I know it's hard to hear it but I've gotta say
From the moment you came, to the second you left
Theres' not a single minute that I don't regret

Just drive, just drive, just drive away
I know it's hard to hear it but I've gotta say
From the moment you came, to the second you left
Theres' not a single minute that I don't regret

So look up look up when the sky is falling
Look up, look up can you hear me calling




Look up, look up when the sky is falling
Look up, look up, look up, look up
