You promised to keep all your promises
and it's been a long time since you managed that
You promised to keep fighting for this
and it´s been a long since you took the words back

To hear you voice again was like a glimpse into the past
There's nothing here now that reminds me of you
and I think it´s alright now that we didn´t last
but I still don't like the thought of someone new

You talked about everything you had on your mind
Like you did when I loved you a lifetime ago
So familiar, so safe, yet so different this time
I´ve become a person that you no longer know

and I guess you stopped trying to spare my feelings
After all you let go, our lines no longer cross
I don´t want you anymore but it still stings
When you reach out like this so I remember the loss

There are are things now that I cannot say
It doesn't matter cause in the silence all of us hears
It was so strange to hear your voice today
To think I slept beside you for two years

I´m happy you called, that you haven´t forgotten
But the conversation still made me sad
I can hear in your voice that you're happy again
and she makes it less special the things that we had

You promised to keep all your promises
and it´s been a long time since you managed to
Maybe you shouldn´t promise her so you don´t go amiss
and I´ll try to be happy for you
What do you think?

All of life's greatest pleasures
Are those created by Gods own hands
The height of the sky and the depth of the sea
And the beauty upon the lands

The shimmering stars in the sky at night
Hang weightless above our heads
Keeping a vigilant watch over us
As we rest within our beds

A sea so deep it is still unknown
It remains a mystery to mortal men
While ships and boats float above
We wonder what lies below unseen

The beauty to us that God reveals
For our human eyes to behold
Has more majesty in each new scene
Than you would think the world could hold

Gods very work we can see
It is one of life's truest treasures
For compared to the beauty God has made
Mankinds hands could never measure
