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, or have 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´ve tried 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 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, or have 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´ve tried 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
