The Promise

Carry my coffin through the rain
And leave the reeds in the dirt with my name
Everything's unwinding,
and I can't wind it back...

There'll be no roses anymore
There'll be no kisses at your door
And I know my memory will fade
Just like the promise we made

Let the rings fall from our fingers, as if they were never worn
But the shadow of love will linger in the empty clothes on the floor
And I know you gave your best to me
And I lost myself when I found my dreams

There'll be no roses anymore
There'll be no kisses at your door
And I know my memory will fade
Just like the promise we made

But Lord knows that I was wrong
Cause the guilt follows me around
One day you'll be glad I'm gone,
'cause I've let you down

There'll be no roses anymore
There'll be no kisses at your door
And nothing left of us remains
Just like the promise we made
