[Mark T & Sonny]
Holdin' hands, strollin' through the park (Oooohhh)
Sweet memories (Yeahhh)
Are torn apart (Ooohh)
I made a promise I could not keep (I could not keep)
I played around, oh girl, I made you weep
[Chorus: Mark T & Sonny]
I had a choice, and I chose wrong
I made a promise, girl, to leave it alone
You gave me trust, I threw it away
Baby, please
[NBK]
NBK
Mark T
Sonny, Son, Son
Yeah
How roses, love notes, and apologies does it take?
How many more lonely nights do I stay awake?
Reminiscin' of the times you would do whatever
Sneak out your window so that we can be together
And when your daddy said he would kill your boyfriend
Not even he could seperate us back then
I wish these thoughts would've been going through my mind
When I broke this promise and I made you cry
Forgive me, I wish it was a dream, that I might awake
To your lovin' arms around me
I guess I gave in to man's deepest weakness
I'm at your mercy begging for forgiveness
I had a choice and I chose wrong
Now I'm trying to make it better writing you this song
I love you more than anything up in this world
Never wanna lose you, forgive me, girl, uh
[Chorus]
I sat back, took my time, wrote these rhymes
Words I never express, the type of things that I'm sayin'
Right out the top of the head, I ain't lyin'
Even cried when I wrote it, and every time I read it
Tear it up and throw it
Think of back to the days when you didn't know what life was
Cuz at the same time I gave it to ya, I took it from ya
And now I understand why you can't look me in my eyes there again
Sittin' underneath the candle light tryin' to 'rize the same lines
Feel it even more when the paper tore from writin' so hard
All hands down with my heart on the floor
Cuz I knew I fucked up, comin' out a broken man
Please, Lord, control my hand and have your angels bless these words
>From a man coming from a broken world
And every time I stopped, your face I saw, your voice I heard
Visions of your tears hauntin' my dreams
Forgive me
[Chorus]
[Mark T & Sonny]
Cuz girl, you know that I wanna love you forever more
Forever and ever, never, n-n-never leave me, baby
I wanna have you right by my side
Cuz you are my lady
Please don't leave me, baby, baby
[Chorus to end]
I got to have you by my side
I made a promise, girl
I wanna do you right
Oh yeahhhh
Lady, lady

Holdin' hands, strollin' through the park (Oooohhh)
Remembering the sweet memories of strolling through the park holding hands
Sweet memories (Yeahhh)
The memories of spending time together are so precious
Are torn apart (Ooohh)
Those happy memories are now destroyed
I made a promise I could not keep (I could not keep)
I broke the promise I made to you
I played around, oh girl, I made you weep
I was unfaithful to you and made you cry
I had a choice, and I chose wrong
I was given a choice and I made the wrong decision
I made a promise, girl, to leave it alone
I promised to stop but couldn't keep my word
You gave me trust, I threw it away
You had faith in me, but I betrayed you
Baby, please
Please forgive me
How roses, love notes, and apologies does it take?
What can I do to make things right? How many apologies are enough?
How many more lonely nights do I stay awake?
I can't sleep because of my guilt and the pain I have caused you
Reminiscin' of the times you would do whatever
Recalling the moments when you would do anything to be with me
Sneak out your window so that we can be together
You were willing to sneak out of your house just to be with me
And when your daddy said he would kill your boyfriend
Even when your dad threatened me, we still held on to our love
Not even he could separate us back then
Our love was so strong that no one could come between us
I wish these thoughts would've been going through my mind
I wish I had thought about the consequences of my actions before hurting you
When I broke this promise and I made you cry
I betrayed you, broke my promise, and saw you in tears
Forgive me, I wish it was a dream, that I might awake
Please forgive me. I wish that what happened was just a bad dream and not reality
To your lovin' arms around me
I long to have you back in my arms and feel your love again
I guess I gave in to man's deepest weakness
I gave in to temptation, which is the greatest weakness of man
I'm at your mercy begging for forgiveness
I can only beg for your mercy and ask for your forgiveness
Now I'm trying to make it better writing you this song
I'm trying to make things right by expressing my remorse in this song
I love you more than anything up in this world
I love you more than anything else in the world
Never wanna lose you, forgive me, girl, uh
I never want to lose you, please forgive me
I sat back, took my time, wrote these rhymes
I wrote this song with care and thoughtfulness
Words I never express, the type of things that I'm sayin'
These are things I never say out loud
Right out the top of the head, I ain't lyin'
These words are coming straight from my heart and are sincere
Even cried when I wrote it, and every time I read it
This song makes me emotional and brings tears to my eyes
Tear it up and throw it
Even though it hurts, I have to let go of the pain
Think of back to the days when you didn't know what life was
Remembering the innocence of our early days together
Cuz at the same time I gave it to ya, I took it from ya
I brought you happiness but also caused you pain
And now I understand why you can't look me in my eyes there again
I realize why you can't face me anymore
Sittin' underneath the candle light tryin' to 'rize the same lines
I'm struggling to find the right words to express how I feel
Feel it even more when the paper tore from writin' so hard
The emotion is so strong that even the paper tears
All hands down with my heart on the floor
I am completely vulnerable and my heart is shattered
Cuz I knew I fucked up, comin' out a broken man
I made a terrible mistake and now I'm broken and lost
Please, Lord, control my hand and have your angels bless these words
Please help me to find the right words to ask for forgiveness
>From a man coming from a broken world
These words are coming from someone who is broken and seeking redemption
And every time I stopped, your face I saw, your voice I heard
I can't stop thinking about you and the pain I caused you
Visions of your tears hauntin' my dreams
I can't escape the painful memories of making you cry
Cuz girl, you know that I wanna love you forever more
I want to love and be with you forever
Forever and ever, never, n-n-never leave me, baby
I never want you to leave me and I will love you forever
I wanna have you right by my side
I want us to be together always
Cuz you are my lady
You are the only one for me
Please don't leave me, baby, baby
I can't bear the thought of losing you, please stay with me
