CAN'T LET GO

when a promise is a promise

CAN’T LET GO

IT’S THIS PAIN THAT REMINDS ME THOSE DAYS
WHEN THE RAYS OF HER LOVE
REFLECTED A GILTERING SMILE ON MY FACE
TODAY, IT’S NO MORE
BUT I STILL FEEL SHE IS WITH ME
THIS PAIN SHE LEFT INSIDE MY HEART
MAY BE IT’S WHAT SHE MEANT
WHEN SHE PROMISED
FOREVER AND EVER WILL BE
I THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THE BEAUTY OF HER WRINKLES
THAT DATE WON’T COME
BUT I WON’T CRY
BECAUSE THIS PAIN WILL FLOW OUT IN TEARS
IT’S ALL I HAVE OF HER
I WON’T TRY WASHING MY FACE,
THE TEARS SHE LEFT ME WILL BE WASHED OFF MY EYES
IT’S ALL I HAVE OF HER
THE PAIN IN MY HEART
THE TEARS IN MY EYES
MAY BE IT’S THE PROMISE SHE MADE
IT’S WHAT REMINDS ME
OF HER.
