歌詞

YOU KNOW I CANNOT ALWAYS BE THERE WITH YOU,
WHEN SOMETHING CRAZY TAKES ME FAR AWAY.
WE MUST STICK TOGETHER THROUGH THIS MADNESS,
I’VE GOT SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO SAY.

TOO MANY FORCES TRY TO COME BETWEEN US,
SO LITTLE TIME TO SHARE AND TALK TO YOU.
IF I SHOW MY HAND TO YOU IN PANIC,
PLEASE, REMEMBER WHAT I’M GOING THROUGH.

I’VE LOVED YOU FOREVER,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A DAY.
AND I WANT TO BE THERE WITH YOU,
I DIDN’T WANT IT THIS WAY.

DON’T THINK I DON’T TRUST IN YOU,
I JUST NEEDED TO SAY,
DON’T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY,
OH NO, DON’T BREAK THE PROMISES

DO YOU REMEMBER COUNTING EVERY MOMENT
BEFORE THE WORLD WE KNEW WAS TORN APART?
NOW WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES I CAN BE WITH YOU,
BUT ARE WE REALLY DANCING IN THE DARK?

A BAD CONNECTION LEADS US TO CONFUSION,
WE’RE ALL TOO EASILY MISUNDERSTOOD.
OH, WE’VE BEEN TOGETHER THROUGH THESE NIGHTMARES
AND NOW WE’VE GOT A CHANCE TO MAKE IT GOOD.

I’VE LOVED YOU FOREVER,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A DAY.
AND I WANT TO BE THERE WITH YOU,
I DIDN’T WANT IT THIS WAY.

DON’T THINK I DON’T TRUST IN YOU,
I JUST WANTED TO SAY,
OH, DON’T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY,
OH, DON’T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY

DON’T YOU BREAK THE PROMISES,
(Don’t break the promises, promises)
IF YOU DO, YOU’LL BE BREAKING MY HEART.
(Don’t break the promises that you made)
OH, DON’T FORGET THE THINGS WE SAID
(Promises, promises)
AT THE START, OH NO.

I’VE LOVED YOU FOREVER,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A DAY.
AND I WANT TO BE THERE WITH YOU,
I DIDN’T WANT IT THIS WAY.

DON’T THINK I DON’T TRUST IN YOU,
I JUST WANTED TO SAY,
OH, DON’T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY, OH NO.
DON’T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY,
OH, DON’T BREAK THE PROMISES
THAT WE MADE TODAY.
