Promises We Keep
Sleeping close in sweetness
Intimate in doubt
A little piece of rope around
To stop us falling out
And through the closed curtains
A copper coloured light
And wine glasses
From last night

Is it so forgotten?
Does it run so deep
Is it so forgotten?
Like the promises we keep
Like those promises we keep
Like those promises we keep
I feel broken
Feel so broken
I feel so broken
I feel....

Cigarette smoke drifting up
To hanging plants behind
Particles of honesty
And tenderness entwined
Oh but things with you are different now
And I can feel the strain
What is it that protects you from this pain?
Is it so forgotten?
Does it run so deep
Is it so forgotten?
Like the promises we keep
Like those promises we keep
Like those promises we keep
I feel broken
Feel so broken
I feel so broken
I feel....

With the days that lie ahead me
I'm hungry to remain
Still I know it's best to go
'Cause nothing's going to change
Oh, and eyes that held so much for me
Are holding things from me now
Like the harmonies
That life will not allow

Is it so forgotten?
Does it run so deep
Is it so forgotten?
Like the promises we keep
Like those promises we keep
Like those promises we keep
I feel broken
I feel so broken
I feel so broken
I feel....
Is it so forgotten?
Does it run so deep
Is it so forgotten?
Like the promises we keep
Like those promises we keep
Like those promises we keep
I feel broken
I feel so broken
I feel so broken
I feel....
