After The Promise

AFTER THE PROMISE - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Solitude grips the heart of the night

Winds of winter blows with all of its might 

I'm stranded here all alone and clean out of sight 

From the rest of the world 

Thinking about a girl

Memories of April days 

Lives in my mind in terrifying ways

It's hard to move with the words that you say 

When I'm sitting here feeling all of the pain 

From a girl who left me to perish 

And broken dreams I used to cherish

Of the future 

Feeling like nothing but nothings only king 

First she says she's leaving then she turns around and stays 

The next thing you know she's gone the next day 

I know sometimes that love is hard to explain

Sometimes it's so insecure 

I didn't know by the look in her eyes

That falling in love would be my demise 

All I ever wanted was a much better life

I was sick of it, and she was the cure

After the promise there was no promise anymore

I heart you still

The teacher taught me well

After the promise comes a lovers tale

I thought love would be true

I thought love was me and you

This time

I thought you wanted it too

I was so blind

After the promise leaves me totally confused 

Solitude grips the heart of the night

Winds of winter blows with all of its might 

I'm stranded here all alone and clean out of sight 

From the rest of the world 

Thinking about a girl

Feeling like nothing but nothings only king

First she says she's leaving then she turns around and stays 

The next thing you know she's gone the next day 

I know sometimes that love is hard to explain

Sometimes it's so insecure 

I didn't know by the look in her eyes

That falling in love would be my demise 

All I ever wanted was a much better life

I was sick of it, and she was the cure

After the promise there was no promise anymore

And there I am with everything I feel

I heart you still 

Even after the promise
