There's a boy in a garden all alone
Reminds me a story of my own
Waiting around and a promise never came
He's wondering what he's done wrong
It makes me wanna write this song
About how I can often feel the same

Promise me, promise me, promise me
I'm ready to love again
Promise me, promise me, promise me
I'm ready to love again
I'm ready to love again

The closer I get the harder it is
I'm nervous and I'm tired of this
Tired of digging up the ground for clues
Like the boy who waited for so long
I'm tired of being all this strong
I need these promises from you

Promise me, promise me, promise me
I'm ready to love again
I'm ready to love again
Promise me, promise me, promise me
I'm ready to love again
Promise me, promise me, promise me
I'm ready to love again

Don't say anything at all
Unless you mean it mean it all
I can't get up from another fall
Don't hold my hand unless it's right
Stop showing me things that are out of sight
Holding me in the night
Yeah

Promise me, promise me, promise me
I'm ready to love again
Promise me, promise me, promise me
I'm ready to love again
