Promise

Alex Lifeson


One more glass
A million more days
One more smoke 
Release me from my ways 
Break the mold
Break your back 
Break the promise you made
Seek the world now 
Don't look back 
Make your promise today
Leave the saftey 
Leave this life 
Leave before it's too late
It's your only chance 
Don't pretend romance 
Keep the new promise you made

What if I wasn't so scared?
Why can't I be brave? 

I've forgotten all that we shared
You can't give me what I crave 

One more glass
Take another pill 
One more day 
I feel like I could kill

What if you let me walk away?
You think it's me who needs to be saved
Your life a tragic, self centered play 
You never gave me what I craved 

What I want
You can never give
What you want 
My dead life to live

Break the mold
Break your back
Break the promise you made
Seek the world now 
Don't look back 

Make your promise today
Leave the safety 
Leave this life 
Leave before it's too late
It's your only chance 
Don't pretend romance 
Keep the new promise you made

Break the mold
Break your back 
Break the promise you made
Leave the safety 
Leave this life 
Leave before it's too late
Seek the world now 
Don't look back 
Make your promise today

Keep the new promise you made
Keep the new promise you made
