Promise Me

[Intro / Chorus] So promise me When your kids grow up You're gonna tell them That once we were in love And that this feeling was something real Promise you'll tell them how you really feel [Verse 1] I remember when we were nineteen We thought the world was made for you and me Back then, I didn't realize Back then, I thought that you would always be mine I wrote your name in my journal, on every single page Your name is forever engraved in my heart You know that this is real I'm telling you how I really feel But things changed so fast You had to go your own way I thought that we would last Maybe we would've had a chance But baby, I don't regret it, no matter how it ends Do you remember that? Remember when I said... [Chorus] So promise me When your kids grow up You're gonna tell them That once we were in love And that this feeling was something real Promise you'll tell them how you really feel So promise me When they talk about their love You're gonna say that you felt that before Just for a moment, I gave you my heart But we grew old and life just tore us apart [Verse 2] I heard that you finally found somebody new Don't worry about me, I already got over you But I still remember that you once were mine We both know it just wasn't our time The memories we both had The love that we both shared We both know it's in the past But please, just don't forget [Chorus] So promise me When your kids grow up You're gonna tell them That once we were in love And that this feeling was something real Promise you'll tell them how you really feel So promise me When they talk about their love You're gonna say that you felt that before Just for a moment, I gave you my heart But we grew old and life just tore us apart [Outro] I promise you When we both have our kids I'll tell mine that once we were in love So they'll believe in love Even though love was never enough
