Promises

You promised you'd be there for my birthday

But you never came

Every time I blew out my birthday candles wishing you were here

Every time you call to wish me a happy late birthday you're always a couple years off

I laugh at him for being so dense

You promised you'd let me travel with you

but since you're so busy you probably forgot

You promised you'd be there when I needed you

now that I need you

You aren't around

I know I'm being selfish

But what am I supposed to do

I know!

How about I make you a promise

You and I could both keep

something simple

something sweet

something with a meaning to me

Promises me you won't make promises to me that you really can't keep

Like I said

something simple

something sweet

something with a meaning to me

I hope you understand what I'm trying to say

I wrote it as simple as I could

and with nothing left to say

I wasn't blunt

I wasn't forward

but I was still direct

at least I think I was

so here's another promise

but this one you have to keep no other choice

promise you'll come back safe

because I hate to admit it

but I miss you

so

you keep your promises and I'll keep mine too

also

I love you
