A Promise We Promised

So you had a great fall from the top of the world
You splattered on the asphalt and it shook you to your core
We are built on a promise that we promised each other before you fell
Because of it we will come out stronger through this hell

One of these days you’re gonna forget what that meant
And I’ll remind you and never relent

So the dark cloud of misfortune is raining on your head
It won’t let you be, won’t you breathe, won’t let you rest
I would if I could if I could say, “Rain on me instead”
But all I can do is stand by you and get wet too

One of these you’re gonna forget what that means
And I won’t let you fail to see

One of these days you’re gonna forget what we have
And I’ll remind you over and over again

One of these days you’re gonna forget what that meant
The promise that we promised, you’ll forget what it meant
If you ever what it forget what it meant
I’ll remind you and never relent
