Promises are promises
Eyes tell me so
I can see past
What's put up for show

Your voice is very strong
I see your lips quiver
Your shoulders stand straight
I see your spine shiver

On the calm surface
You remain unaffected
But a trace of hidden regret
Is what's being detected

You think you are alone
This feeling of pain
I'm out here wet with you
Look through the rain

It is hard to admit
I hate this too
This unwanted downpour
We are both going through

These words still haunt
A memory's sweet kiss
You were right when you said
That a promise is a promise
And it's something you keep at all costs
