Introduction :

All flowers do not bloom. All the participants cannot win.
Everyone cannot get along. All promises are not kept either.
Especially the promise of being by your side till the end of eternity.

But the worst thing is that when these promises are broken willingly, it hurts like a freshly reopened wound. These lyrics are about that pain.

“Promise of forever”

(Verse-1)

Raw anguish
Of mine is like an open wound.
One touch
And it stings way more than it should.

(Pre-chorus)

You know exactly which wounds to put salt on,
You know exactly how to make my pain last for eons.

(Chorus)

You made a promise of forever,
Told me not matter how strong a wind
It won’t make our ship sway and falter.
I held onto your promise of forever;
But you ran at the news of trouble brewing.
I didn’t know promises could be altered.

(Verse-2)

Rusted gear
Is what all this feels like now.
The better
Days seem to be long over now.

(Pre-chorus)

I only had your best interest in my heart,
You had masked bad intentions in your heart.

(Chorus)

You made a promise of forever,
Told me not matter how strong a wind
It won’t make our ship sway and falter.
I held onto your promise of forever;
But you ran at the news of trouble brewing.
I didn’t know promises could be altered.

(Bridge)

Tell me
What is love worth
If it changes with change?
I hit rock bottom
Wishing the world would be nice.
I hit rock bottom
Wishing you’d turn up every night.

(Chorus)

You made a promise of forever,
Told me not matter how strong a wind
It won’t make our ship sway and falter.

I held onto your promise of forever;
But you ran at the news of trouble brewing.
I didn’t know promises could be altered.

(Exit)

Tell me what is a promise worth
If you can’t keep it for better or for worse?
Tell me what is love worth
If it just changes when life throws a curve?
