A set of lyrics I wrote to a melancholy instrumental dance track by ATB called 'No Fate' from his 2007 album Trilogy.
I picture this as Snape staring into the mirror of Erised as he reflects on his time with Lily when they were kids.
I love singing this!
Promises (Only My Everything)
We used to laugh, we used to run
Beneath the kiss of golden sun
Promises were made
But innocence began to fade
We used to sing, we used to dance
With the faith that we would always last
But memories are all that remains
Of us in love's brighter days
Promises lost to the wind
Seeing you here, I die again
How I wish I could go back and believe
In only dreams we used to dream.
I'd never know how lonely darkness can be
Or feel this emptiness that burns inside of me
You're my soul, you're my wings
You are only my everything
We used to dance
Never knowing we would never last
Promises were made
But memories are all that remains
Now all that's left of so many years
Are broken promises and so many tears
You are all that ever mattered to me
Now my life is just a shattered dream
Promises lost to the wind
Seeing you here, I die again
You're my soul, the air I breathe
You are my dream
Only my everything…
