Verse 1 We carved forever into conversations Like it was something we could hold Built entire worlds from hopeful words And hearts too young to know We swore we'd never lose each other No matter where life led But somewhere between the years Those promises were left unsaid Pre-Chorus I don't blame the way things changed But sometimes I still hear your name Chorus These forgotten promises Still echo through my mind All the vows we made beneath the stars Got lost somewhere in time And though I know we meant them With every part of who we were They became forgotten promises Carried by the wind Verse 2 I found an old note in a drawer Written in your handwriting A tiny piece of yesterday That somehow survived everything The ink has started fading But the feelings still remain Like a song I haven't heard in years Yet somehow know by heart Pre-Chorus Some words outlive the moment Even after they're broken Chorus These forgotten promises Still echo through my mind All the vows we made beneath the stars Got lost somewhere in time And though I know we meant them With every part of who we were They became forgotten promises Carried by the wind Post-Chorus Whoa-oh-oh, drifting away Whoa-oh-oh, yesterday Bridge Maybe forever isn't measured By how long something lasts Maybe it's measured by the mark it leaves Long after it's passed Final Chorus These forgotten promises Don't hurt the way they used to Now they feel like photographs Of people we once knew And though the future changed our path And carried us apart The love behind those promises Still lives inside my heart Outro The words may fade But the love remains Forgotten promises
