Promise

don't promise me you'll be back

when the day turns to black

don't promise we'll be together

when things become better

you always said i love you

but you were always going to

some faraway place

to hide in your own space

don't promise another day

because it's too far away

don't promise it's my turn

because promises burn

i will live my life

i will not look behind

or hold on to a promise

with or without your kiss
