Temperance – Broken Promises

[Verse 1]

I'll find the courage

To fight the demons here inside

The time has come but

I'm not feeling strong enough

To beg for mercy

Let me put all that aside

Avoiding all my doubts

And the consequences of my life

Everyday I try to explain

How my mind is bound in chains

There's no way

What a shame

[Chorus]

But if I say, if I say "leave me alone"

I will spend all my days staring at the phone

I will pray, I will pray for your return!

(And) what if I, say if "I say I won't let you go

Let you go anymore!" I'll know how

Broken promises hurt deep down inside

[Verse 2]

Promise me now

Let's find a way to heal my scars

We'll look up above

Reaching for the stars

What I feel what I like

Is behind your perfect smile

When it rains you are my sun

[Chorus]

Yes! if I say, if I say "leave me alone"

I will spend all my days staring at the phone

I will pray, I will pray for your return

(And) what if I say, if I say "I won't let you go

Let you go anymore!" I'll know how

Broken promises hurt deep down inside

[Bridge]

I'll write about what it means "to feel reborn"

Don't waste your life apologising every time

There's more to discover, take some advice

Pack all your bags and know the world outside!

[Chorus]

But if I say, if I say "leave me alone"

I will spend all my days staring at the phone

I will pray, I will pray for your return

(And) what if I say, if I say "I won't let you go

Let you go anymore!" I'll know how

Broken promises hurt deep down inside
