Promise
Sirius Lyrics

This much I promise
I am making a promise

You ain't gotta cry no more for me
You don't need to cry about our situation anymore

I'm gonna make it easy for you
I am going to make things easier for you

This much I promise
I am reiterating my promise

You ain't gotta deal no more with the guilt
You don't need to feel guilty anymore

I'll die before I let you kill me
I would rather die than let you kill me emotionally

Look, we made promises, honestly I don't know what happened
We made promises but I'm not sure where things went wrong

It seems that we came to a point we stopped laughing
Our relationship got to a place where we stopped enjoying each other's company

You never see it coming, it's like a slap in the face
It's unexpected, it hits you hard

A cold shower, we must have tapped the breaks
It was a sudden reality check that made us slow down

And they say when a door close another one opens
People often say that new opportunities will come after one closes

I was running towards the first one trying to hold it
I was trying to hold onto the first opportunity

Hopeless
I felt hopeless

I guess that I was too blind to notice
I wasn't able to see things from a different perspective

Now I let you go knowing everything is OK
I am letting you go peacefully, with no hard feelings

Knowing if you stayed it would probably give us more pain
If you had stayed, it would have caused us more emotional pain

I'd rather be lonely than make you smile again
I would rather be alone than hurt you again

I'd rather be lonely to feel alive again
I would rather be alone and happy than with someone and unhappy

I remember when I told you I will never make you cry
I remember when I promised not to make you cry

And I can finally achieve it if I let you fly
I can finally keep my promise if I let you go

So let me keep a promise, better late than never
I want to keep my promise, even though it's late

I won't be the reason why you cry again ever
I promise to never make you cry again

I hid the pictures of us in a box, there's Annotatedust on the frames
I put away our pictures, they are covered in dust

And about as much to do as there's nothing to say
There is nothing to be done or said between us

I hope you're living life though, hell if I know
I hope you're doing well, although I am not really sure

You became a stranger from my past when I let go
Once I let you go, you became a stranger in my past

But I need you to know, I tried to make up
I want you to know that I tried to make things right

For every mistake, you know it's not like I just gave up
I didn't just give up, I worked to make things better

And I remember when you made me say that I would always be a part of your life
I remember when you said that I would always be in your life

Guess you forgot it, right?
I guess you forgot about that promise, didn't you?

We've been growing apart for so long
We have been drifting away from each other for a long time

My last words ended up being a monologue
I ended up talking to myself instead of having a conversation

I've been killing myself trying to analyze and understand
I've been trying really hard to understand what went wrong

I'm done letting you have the upper hand
I am no longer going to let you control the situation

I'd rather be alone and make you happy
I would rather be alone and have you be happy

If that's what it takes I'm walking away gladly
If me leaving will make you happy, I will leave happily

I put us back in the box, close it and put it away
I put our relationship back in the box and put it away

I swear that'll be the last promise I make
I promise that this will be the last promise I make about our relationship
