The Promise
Simpson Sturgill Lyrics

If you need a friend
If you ever feel alone and need somebody to talk to

Don't look to a stranger
Don't seek comfort in somebody you don't know and trust

You know in the end, I'll always be there
You can rely on me to be there for you when you need me

But when you're in doubt
When you're unsure about something

And when you're in danger
When you're in a situation that might harm you

Take a look all around, and I'll be there
Look for me and you'll find that I'm there to help you

I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I apologize if my words don't come out as I meant them to, I'm trying to choose them carefully

I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
Although I have thought about how to express myself, sometimes it doesn't come out perfectly

But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
If you give me some time to show my true self, I believe you'll come to like me

I promise, I promise you I will
I swear to you that I'll do everything I can to make you feel loved and valued

When your day is through
At the end of your day

And so is your temper
When you're no longer angry or upset

You know what to do
You know how to handle things

I'm gonna always be there
I'll always be there to support and uplift you

Sometimes if I shout
Occasionally, I may raise my voice

It's not what's intended
It's not my intention to upset or disturb you

These words just come out
Sometimes I speak before thinking through my words

With no gripe to bear
There's no animosity or anger behind what I say

And if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
Even if it meant traveling the entire world, I would do whatever it takes to make you love me

I promise you, I promise
I absolutely promise you, without a doubt
