Songs Not For Me 3

8. Promises I Can't Keep

I wrote this song after a personal experience and believed it would fit well with one of my biggest inspirations and heroes, Colleen Ballinger. She's the reason I'm here typing today. Well, the reason I was here and typed this... you might read this days maybe years later... but that's irrelevant. Colleen seriously helps me so much to keep going and to keep trying to reach my dream. She's just one of the most beautiful people in this world, inside and out obviously lol. Also, I decided to name it "Promises" plural even though it's about one promise because I think it sounds better lol. Like they should make a movie around this lol. Colleen, if you ever read this, I could never thank you enough to show you how much you've meant and still mean to me. I could write a million songs for you and would love to! Lol. I wish you all the best of luck in the many things to come! Love you!

"Promises I Can't Keep"

Verse
I held / your hand
I fell / couldn't stand
I know that was a cheesy line, wasn't it

I felt / your heart
I fell / from the start
I know you know how corny this could get

But I hope
You know
I'm not doing this to hurt you

There's no way
I could go
Without ever telling you the truth

Chorus
But there's a lot that's goin' on right now so I can't leave
And there's a hole in my heart I know by the way it beats

I know a promise is a promise
But if I'm honest my mind's been on this

I'd never want someone to ever do this to me
So this promise is one I can't keep

Verse
You held / my hand
I hope you / understand
I know you were everything to me

You felt / my heart
I fell / apart
I know you're probably broken too

But I hope
You know
I'm not doing this to hurt you

There's no way
I could go
Without ever forgetting you

Chorus
But there's a lot that's goin' on right now so I can't leave
And there's a hole in my heart I know by the way it beats

I know a promise is a promise
But if I'm honest my mind's been on this

I'd never want someone to ever do this to me
So this promise is one I can't keep

No this promise I can't keep

Bridge
I know / you were once everything
I know / you felt the same for me
I know / you're
And I know / that's probably my fault

But I know / I don't
Wanna do this to my best friend

So I hope / you know
That's why this has to end

Chorus
But there's a lot that's goin' on right now so I must leave
And there's a hole in my heart I know by the way it beats

I know a promise is a promise
But if I'm honest my mind's been on this

You deserve better and better's not with me
So this promise is one promise I can't keep.
