I remember the way you looked at me
Under the stars where we swore we'd be free
We painted dreams in colors so bright
But the pictures faded, lost in the night
The promise of that day is gone
But in my heart it lingers on
A silent vow, a memory engraved
Holding on to words we didn't say
We thought love would be enough to last
But we couldn't outrun the shadows of our past
Now I walk alone through empty streets
Haunted by the promises we couldn't keep
The promise of that day is gone
But in my heart it lingers on
A silent vow, a memory engraved
Holding on to words we didn't say
If I close my eyes, I still see you there
A whisper, a touch, a stolen stare
Though we're miles apart, I feel the ache
Of a promise that I can't unmake
If I close my eyes, I still see you there
A whisper, a touch, a stolen stare
Though we're miles apart, I feel the ache
Of a promise that I can't unmake
The promise of that day is gone
But in my heart it lingers on
A silent vow, a memory engraved
Holding on to words we didn't say
So I'll carry this weight, though it's hard to bear
The ghost of a love beyond repair
In the silence, I'll remember you
And the promise of that day we thought was true
