[Piano Prelude] [Verse 1] I held your hand that final night, Swore I'd make your wrongs turn right, Your voice was faint, but I could hear, 'fraid to let you disappear. Trust me that I gave it my best, So your soul could lay in rest, But oh brother, it's such a curse, Why'd I make my own life worse? [Chorus] I promised your world to build, I promised your void be filled, And I promise to try again, Even tho' I writhe in pain… (Oh, I promise…) [Verse 2] Your voice still echoes through the sky, But every sunset is like lie, Where people bask in warmth of day, I shield my eyes from scorching ray. To fail my brother is a sin, Ugliest that's ever been, Yet now I hate those crooked words, Prisoner like wingless birds. [Chorus] I promised your world to build, I promised your void be filled, And I promise to try again, Even tho' I writhe in pain… (Oh, I promise…) [Verse 3] Brother, I failed, the world spun fast, The promise broke, I couldn’t grasp, Your shadow stays, I feel the cost In every dream, In every loss. If I could turn back fleeting time, Undo the weight of this old crime, I’d find the strength to try once more, wouldn't become such an eyesore. [Chorus] I promised your world to build, I promised your void be filled, And I promise to try again, Even tho' I writhe in pain… I promised your world to build, I promised your void be filled, And I promise to try again, Even tho' I writhe in pain… (Oh, I promise…) (I promise…) [Slow end]
