The Promise

Carry my coffin through the rain

And leave the reeds in the dirt with my name

Everything's unwinding,

and I can't wind it back...

There'll be no roses anymore

There'll be no kisses at your door

And I know my memory will fade

Just like the promise we made

Let the rings fall from our fingers, as if they were never worn

But the shadow of love will linger in the empty clothes on the floor

And I know you gave your best to me

And I lost myself when I found my dreams

There'll be no roses anymore

There'll be no kisses at your door

And I know my memory will fade

Just like the promise we made

But Lord knows that I was wrong

Cause the guilt follows me around

One day you'll be glad I'm gone,

'cause I've let you down

There'll be no roses anymore

There'll be no kisses at your door

And nothing left of us remains

Just like the promise we made
