The Promise - Girls Aloud

I never said that I would give you silver or gold Or that you would never feel the fire or shiver in the cold But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone (Hmm) And I did say, don't make this world your home I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight But I did say I'd be right there by your side And I did say I'll always help you fight 'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep My grace will be sufficient in every time of need And my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool But I did say like me you'll surely be despised And I did say my ways confound the wise I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side (Yeah, yeah) And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry 'Cause you know I made a promise that I've prepared a place And some day sooner than you think you'll see me face to face And you'll sing with the angels and a countless multitude This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light That hell can't separate us and you're gonna make it through This is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you Oh, this is the promise, this is the promise I've made to you

Who is it? You again, thought you left But you never go too far Remember when we overslept? That morning when our thing fell apart But I never learn, I always lust And over trust I do it to myself But I can't be burying these feelings When it's the best thing that I ever felt You got my promise again You had me pining when you left Knowing it's been ages I'm taking it in Thought I was fine, ooh Need to leave you behind Maybe by September I Would have tried enough of other stuff To know that you weren't right But we never learn We always lust and over trust It happens overnight I don't wanna be your enemy Or something you need to pass the time So excuse me if this comes as green But sometimes I just wanna go back and rewind You got my promise again You had me pining when you left Knowing it's been ages I'm taking it in Thought I'd be fine, ooh Need to leave you behind Need to leave you behind It's been a long time, same decisions I make Slowly lead me back to you I'm in the open, lose all sense of knowing Are you onto someone new? Yeah It's been a burden, but the burden I'll take For a day or two It leaves me longing for a certain moment I hear a familiar tune

Through wind and rain we got here Now we're flying babe with no fear We've been doing pain for so long But when I stare in your eyes it's all gone Through wind and rain we burn bright Learn to fly through flames and hold tight Been so many ways to go wrong But when I look in your eyes they're all gone And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall When you're around, oooh, we're untouchable And in my dreams it feels like we aren't ever gonna fall We're safe and sound and we're untouchable It's only real when you're not around I'm walking in the rain, the sun goes down, oh oh And only love can save us now I need you here again to show me how, oh oh I know that love shouldn't be so hard And sometimes we're standing in the dark But you light up everywhere I go And I know a heart shouldn't beat so hard And sometimes we're swimming with the sharks But you light up and keep me out the cold And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall When you're around, oooh, we're untouchable And in my dreams it feels like we aren't ever gonna fall We're safe and sound and we're untouchable It's only real when you're not around The candle in my hand is burning out, oh oh I know that love shouldn't be so hard And sometimes we're standing in the dark But you light up everywhere I go And I know a heart shouldn't beat so hard And sometimes we're swimming with the sharks But you light up and keep me out the cold And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall When you're around, oooh, we're untouchable And in my dreams it feels like we aren't ever gonna fall We're safe and sound and we're untouchable Whenever you're gone, gone they wait at the door And everything's hurting like before Without any meaning, we're just skin and bone Like beautiful robots dancing alone Whenever you're gone, gone they wait at the door And everything's hurting like before Without any meaning, we're just skin and bone Like beautiful robots dancing alone And in my dreams it feels like we are forty stories tall When you're around, oooh, we're untouchable And in my dreams it feels like we aren't ever gonna fall We're safe and sound and we're untouchable

Ooh, I tried to talk to you Ooh, it's like I can't get through Ooh, have you blown me away? Ooh, that's how you're making me feel Hugs and kisses, wondering wishes Bedtime pieces are on replay Over and over again Please help, tell me which path I need to take I know you're hiding inside And oh God, yes it is frustrating But if you give me the time I've got so much to share with you I just can't get you out my mind And now you've got me wondering what the hell I'm supposed to do Other side of my world and I know that I'm in love with you And if it's tugging inside, we both know I took you for a ride And honey what have I done? Oh believe me I have realised With you, only you, I know I can be myself Funny how I could find love with you and nobody else I could call you crying four in the morning and you'd make it better Even when I thought I couldn't pull through and we'd be trying together Let your body receive what I can give And when we're ready, don't speak, it's happening Let your body reveal an innocence Let me set you free, it's magic Let your body receive what I can give And when we're ready, don't speak, it's happening Let your body reveal an innocence Let me set you free, it's magic You're in my thoughts all the time And I can't seem to shift you from my mind I know I made a mistake I need some help with shifting this heartache You're in my thoughts all the time You're in my thoughts all the time You're in my thoughts all the time You're in my thoughts all the time [Fade]
