Promise

A promise to me is your word,
A promise to me is worth life,
A promise to me is our secret,
A promise to me is binding.

He promised we'd see one another,
He promised we'd finish the movie,
He promised we'd relax at last,
He promised, to call me.

I promised to give him another chance,
I promised to give him his spot on the couch,
I promised to give him peace and silence,
I promised, to wait for his call.

A promise to me, is your word,
A promise to me, is worth life,
A promise to me, is our secret,
A promise to me, is binding.

But when you break that promise,
Your word, becomes a memory,
The life, becomes a grave,
Our secret, becomes a book,
And that binding, falls apart.
