The Promise

When it feels right, you know it
I can′t never let it wait
Cause when it feels, feels right, it proves
It tends to go away

So never go
Never go away

She's right I know
Promise me don′t disappear
Cause when it feels, feels right, don't show it
Don't want to live in made up fear

I won′t go
I won′t go away
So never go
Never go away

If this is our last goodbye
All differences put aside
We can get drawn into each other's arms
Blame it on weakness
We can get drawn into each other′s arms

I won't go
I won′t go away




So never go
Never go away

Parabéns, o albúm é maravilhoso! Curti muito, embora só tenha vindo conferir os clipes um ano depois já curto o albúm desde o lançamento, e comprar teus albuns no Brasil é muito difícil!
