verse 1 There's a boy in a garden all alone Reminds me a story of my own Waiting around and a promise never came He's wondering what he's done wrong It makes me wanna write this song About how I can often feel the same Promise me, promise me, promise me I'm ready to love again Promise me, promise me, promise me I'm ready to love again verse 2 The closer I get the harder it is I'm nervous and I'm tired of this Tired of digging up the ground for clues Like the boy who waited for so long I'm tired of being all this strong I need these promises from you Promise me, promise me, promise me I'm ready to love again Promise me, promise me, promise me I'm ready to love again verse 3 Don't say anything at all Unless you mean it mean it all I can't get up from another fall Don't hold my hand unless it's right Stop showing me things that are out of sight Holding me in the night Yeah Promise me, promise me, promise me I'm ready to love again Promise me, promise me, promise me I'm ready to love again
