A Promise To Keep

I still talk to you in my sleep

I don't say much cause the hurt runs too deep

I gave you the moon and the stars to keep

But you gave them back to me



The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep

But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep



I still lay on my side of the bed

I dance alone when the last bottle's spent

Memories like a river runnin' through my head

I'll have me an ocean before I'm dead



The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep

But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep



I still whisper sweet words to you

And when I'm busy with nothing to do

I pray to god that my words ring true

And that your words might reach me too



The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep

But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep

I can't keep it



My hearts in pieces so please understand

I'm trying to jump, but I've nowhere to land

So give me your heart and I'll give you my hand

And I'll try as goddamn hard as I can



The hill I'm walkin' up is gettin' good and steep

But I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep

I can't keep it
