make me a promise

one gets the message for you

before it's gone

too many people here

hanging around

i want to live better

than i'm used to

what a simple thing to say

so hard to do

three times you left me hanging

yet i stick around

funny how it's all forgiven

when that feeling's found

i don't want to live forever

but if i did

i'd spend the whole damn time

waiting for you, kid

so make me a promise

that i can believe

i'll be waiting, however far away

you may be in love with somebody else

or just passing the time with them out of convenience

whichever one it is

i can promise you this

i'd wait forever

even if it's a miss

so make me a promise

that i can believe

i'll be waiting, however far away

so make me a promise

that i can believe

i'll be waiting, however far away

if you leave me a letter

if you call, i will answer to you

if you wanted to see

i could show you where i'd be

there is just one thing i need to hear, baby

make me a promise

that i can believe

i'll be waiting, however far away
