My Promise Lyrics - Tourniquet

Just a boy, you will not remember half 

The things you're going through right now 

How can I explain to you things don't 

Always go the way you want them to 

I know you feel confused 

Your mother never wanted this for you 

She did her best but that he wouldn't do 

You and I are brought together now by 

Wedding vows, vows that I have also made to you 

Flesh and blood though we are not 

I will love you as my own 

Now God's love is all we've got 

Together we can build a home 

All I want for you is to remember this 

Never will I turn my back on you 

This world will lie to you and take you for a ride 

How can I protect you from this path 

Only God can show you that the lights in life burn fast 

Never forsake you precious days of youth 

I promise I will do my best for you 

Listen to me and I will listen too
