Set It Off - I Promise lyrics

If you step back and realize
I'm sure that you'll see
That these words that were spoken, eventually
Will dwell in my conscience till my dying day
Oh, what can I say

To change your perception
Want me by your side
The fact that you've moved on
Makes me want to cry
And if you open your door
I'll be there with arms wide
Just begging and praying for one more goodbye

So I'll wait for you
Even though you don't want me to

Because I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears my love
Oh, my love

I keep telling myself that it's
Not what it seems and wish that you wouldn't
Keep haunting my dreams
I'll shoot out of bed and wake up in a sweat
How could I forget?

I imagined the worst when we
Were on the phone as you sat there and told
Me that you were alone i could see him
I know how he makes you behave
That this wasn't the girl that
I kissed on our date

But, I'll wait for you
Even though you don't want me to

Because I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you, I promise
You won't see this face show up at your place
Although I'm in town, I'll stay here my love
Oh, my love my love
Oh, my love

And I should know better, give up while I can
And prove to the world that
I'll be my own man
You broke me and took me along for the ride
And this pain that you've left
Me should make me subside

But, I'm not over you, I promise
(I'm not over you, I'm not over you
I'm not over you) this word they call love
Come push or to shove
(I wish I could do anything to get you back)
I meant it and now I'm in tears
Because I'm not over you, I promise
('Cause, I'm over)
You won't see this face show up at your place
(Don't let me go)
Although I'm in town, I'll stay here
'Cause, I'm not over you, I promise
This word they call love
Come push or to shove
I meant it and now I'm in tears, my love
