Promise You

You said you weren't in any pain on the day you passed away
 Or your week before in coma
 Begging that you'd just come home, and
 I can see your smile again
 Anything to numb that pain that I've been living in
 A room of family and friends
 Crying on each other 'cause we're all so broken
 ('Cause we're all so broken)
 ♪
 They said you weren't in any pain
 I came and saw you everyday
 Holding tighter onto your hand
 Begging that you'll just wake up, and
 I started smoking again
 Anything to force myself into a deep breath
 Get enough oxygen
 Cry it back out 'til I feel less broken
 (I know I'm still broken)
 ♪
 And we sat down once
 Wrote about all the fear that lives inside you
 Defenseless
 Wrote about another time I swore I lost you
 Then I said
 That I've never had a prouder moment
 Than when you made that promise
 Than when you promised me
 (Than when you promised me)
 (Promised me)
 Watching you breathe into machines
 Wishing I could say it was all a dream
 Emotions I didn't know that I had
 Begging just to keep it shut out, and
 I started smoking again
 Anything to force myself into a deep breath
 Get enough oxygen
 Cry it back out 'cause you're not coming home again
 And in that great tune
 I could prior my giving
 I do think you're right and you're right, Karl
 It's not your business, and that's all
 However, we gon' have to determine it
 And we sat down once
 Wrote about all the fear that lives inside you
 Defenseless
 Wrote about another time I swore I lost you
 Then I said
 That I've never had a prouder moment
 Than when you made that promise
 Than when you promised me
 Than when you promised me
 And I promise you
 I will never stop saying your name
