Promise - Yorke

I swore to you back when we were younger

That I’d build you a home and a garden

I never thought you’d never want this

I made a promise to your father

Was it enough?

Oh was I ever enough?

I gave you everything, oh, I gave you love

I didn’t think you’d give up easy

‘Cause I made a promise to your mother

I watch you float, I slowly sink

I know now that I’m already gone

You’re haunting me, out of my reach

You hold him and I don’t have a choice

Down, down the further I go

Drinking to bottom like I should’ve known

You’ve played me like a halftime comeback

Now I need to brace for impact

Down, down the further I go

Drinking to the bottom like I should’ve known

You’ve played me like a halftime comeback

And I don’t have a choice

Remember your sister when she called me

And told me if I would ever leave you

She’d curse me with fire, she’d call me a liar

I made a promise to your sister

Was it enough?

Oh was I ever enough?

I gave you everything ‘til you left me numb

Don’t wanna hear all of your reasons

‘Cause I made a promise not to grieve you

I made a promise to your sister

Swore to myself I’d never leave you

I made a promise to your sister

When I made a promise not to leave you

I watch you float, I slowly sink

I know now that I’m already gone

You’re haunting me, out of my reach

You hold him and I don’t have a choice

Down, down the further I go

Drinking the bottom like I should’ve known

You’ve played me like a halftime comeback

Now I need to brace for impact

Down, down the further I go

Drinking to the bottom like I should’ve known

You’ve played me like a halftime come back

And I don’t have a choice
