Can't Promise You Forever





I once knew this guy

Who gave me some advice

He told me to live for the moment

Deal what's been dealt

All right

And afterwards it was the thing that confused me

He'd only said that line to use me

But when I think right now

Back to that very day

I think I understand the words he had to say

Cause in the sitch I'm in right now

Is making me figure out how



I can't promise you forever

I can't give you my soul

I don't have very much to give

In fact at all

My first lover stole my heart and broke it

My second shattered the self esteem

My third left me out in the cold

So all I have for you

Is a hopeful dream



Live for the moment

Accept the dice

That was Mr Number Two's advice

And now I've taken it with you

But next I don't know what to do

My world quakes

My knees shake

My entire universe is mad

My heart beats

To your heart beat

Oh please

Don't leave me sad...



I can't promise you forever

I can't give you my soul

I don't have very much to give

In fact at all

My first lover stole my heart and broke it

My second shattered the self esteem

My third left me out in the cold

So all I have for you

Is a hopeful dream



Oh, love takes time

And escaping takes more

I'm more scared now

than ever before

When I get a heartache it's so easy

To just want to let go....

So just to let you know



I can't promise you forever

I can't give you my soul

I don't have very much to give

In fact at all

My first lover stole my heart and broke it

My second shattered the self esteem

My third left me out in the cold

So all I have for you

Is a hopeful dream



Can't promise you love

Can't promise you peace

And I know, I know

I am a tease!

I can't promise you forever

I can't give you my soul

I don't have very much to give

In fact at all

My first lover stole my heart and broke it

My second shattered the self esteem

My third left me out in the cold

So all I have for you

Is a hopeful dream



Since I can't promise you forever

Come be with me now.
