A Promise
My Dear Addiction Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel something lures me down
To a place, that I once left.
Something dark that I can't see
Buried once, with no key.

I made it then, I'll make it now.
I never gave up, kept on somehow.
Hope never left my side.

I was lost in so many ways;
still the path was so clear for me.
Inside I know where to go:
Within my heart - within me.

If the shadows fall upon you,
If the weight is to much to bare,
Then remember my simple promise:
"Just call my name and I will be there."

Sleepless nights, all regrets.
Endless days, fading out.
I can see it clearly now,
I'm awake. Alive somehow

I made it then, so I'm still here.
You never gave up, made it so clear.
Faith never left my side.

I was lost in so many ways,
Still the path was so clear for me.
Inside I know where to go;
Within my heart - within me...

If the shadows fall upon you,
If the weight is to much to bare,
Then remember my simple promise:




"Just call my name and I will be there."
Call my name
