Promise
I remember the look
In her eye
When she turned around
And said goodbye
I had never seen her
With such sorrow
And because of me
She'll never see tomorrow
To be so arrogant
And not to realize
That each time she saw me
The sadness grew in her eyes
She loved me yet
I pushed her away
I did not want to forget
What I had promised that day
To protect you for forever
Is what I have to do
I now only wish
That it was her instead of you
