The Promise
作词:林夕 作曲:陶喆
演唱:陶喆
总是对最亲近的人 才最有性格地发火
只是想我有多失落 没看到身边人寂寞
我让你失望 我很难过
我也看不起 这样一个我
不会再推说 人总是软弱
不会让自己 输给了生活
在赢回你赞赏之前起码要做 我欣赏的我
总是欺负你包容我 就把幽默变成了刻薄
总是自恃感情不错 就把自尊看成了枷锁
我让你失望 我很难过
我也看不起 这样的一个我
不会再推说 人总是软弱
不会让自己 输给了生活
在赢回你赞赏之前起码要做 我欣赏的我
我答应不再说什么 为势所迫
承诺只为你而执着 承诺不为自己开脱
我承诺不会再随便 许下承诺
我让你失望 我比你难过
我也看不起 这样一个我
不会再推说 是人性的软弱




不会让自己 输给了我
我不要犯所有人也爱犯的错 让你更爱我

无时无刻对你的想念 缠绵一起的触碰 喘息时的温度
你知道吗 因为有了你
生活变得如此甜蜜
喜欢你的一切 真的没理由 you know

We're makin' a story,
Ballin' on your body,
Mille's lookin' glossy,
Watch the time cause no one's watchin'

Never let you go,
Never let you down oh babe lay you down and fly high

用心来守护的秘密 就算我很委屈为你我也愿意
我答应过你 不会再让你受到伤害
I, I promise to you I,I promise to you

你我之间的美好 不会再出现裂缝让我来守护
我答应过你 永远陪你不让你哭泣
I, I promise to you I,I promise to you

无时无刻对你的想念 缠绵一起的触碰 喘息时的温度

用心来守护的秘密 就算我很委屈为你我也愿意

为什么喜欢你 这 已经 不会是迷 loyal
好像 魔法 没办法 很害怕 你突然 离开我吧 已经着迷
因为你 已经让我身不由己
我对你的爱 现在 会让我歇斯里底
爱不该爱的人 明知道 会很狼狈 会很累 为了你yeah 我心甘情愿呢
也许这应该就是魔法的效应

你我之间的美好 不会再出现裂缝让我来守护
我答应过你 永远陪你不让你哭泣
I, I promise to you I,I promise to you

See you, see you, see you again
Love your, love your, love yourself
I can't, I can't take your hand baby

这首歌为你 为了你的回忆
I, I promise to you I,I promise to you

I, I promise to you babe
