I Promise - Set It Off

If you stepped back and realized

I’m sure that you’ll see

That these words that were spoken eventually

Will dwell in my conscience

Til my dying day

Oh what can I say to change your perception

Want me by your side?

The fact that you moved on

Makes me wanna cry

If you open your door

I’ll be there with arms wide

Just begging and praying

For one more goodbye

So I’ll wait for you

Even though you don’t want me to

Because I’m not over you

I promise

This word they call love

Come push or to shove

I meant it and now I’m in tears, my love

Oh my love, oh.

I keep telling myself that

It’s not what it seems

And wish that you wouldn’t

Keep haunting my dreams

I’ll shoot out of bed and

Wake up in a sweat

How could I forget?

I imagined the worst when

You were on the phone

As you sat there and told me

That you were alone

I could see him, I know how

He makes you behave

That this wasn’t the girl

That I kissed on our date

But I’ll wait for you

Even though you don’t want me to

Because I’m not over you

I promise

This word they call love

Come push or to shove

I meant it and now I’m in tears.

Because I’m not over you

I promise

You won’t see this face

Show up at your place

Although I’m in town

I’ll stay here, my love

Oh my love, my love

Oh my love

And I should know better

Give up while I can

And prove to the world

That I’ll be my own man

You broke me and took me

Along for the ride

And this pain that you’ve left me

Should make me subside

But I’m not over you

(I'm not over you

I’m not over you

I’m not over you)

I promise

This word they call love

Come push or to shove

(I wish I could do anything to get you back)

I meant it and now

I’m in tears

Because I’m not over you

('cause I’m over)

I promise

You won’t see this face

Show up at your place

(Don't let me go)

Although I’m in town

I’ll stay here

'Cause I’m not over you

I promise

This word they call love

Come push or to shove

I meant it and now

I’m in tears

My love
