[Lyric] Promises (Ariel Petrie)

VERSE
I sat by as you pushed me away
I had hopes you’d be back some sweet, sweet day
But the world keeps turning and the years they keep going by
And your sweet, sweet promises all turned into lies

VERSE
I broke down as my world began to fall
I gave up every part of me, yes I gave it all
But the bridge is burning and it’s all gone up in fire
And there’s no more memory of the thread that kept us tied

CHORUS
It’s the end of holding on too fast
‘Cause this world surely ain’t gonna last
But this world is not my home
So I keep pressing on
To the better promises

VERSE
They say time, time will bring the gift of change
I guess time is the only friend that will heal this pain
I’m a wayward pilot looking for a place to land
When the storm winds settle I will find my home again
CHORUS
It’s the end of holding on too fast
(So many things were meant to last, holding on too fast)
‘Cause this world surely ain’t gonna last
(And in this world of promises, we were meant to last)
But this world is not my home
So I keep pressing on
To the better promises
(To the better promises)

BRIDGE
Won’t let that part of my life keep me from the path
So many dreams they fall, mine has got to last

CHORUS
It’s the end of holding on too fast
(So many things were meant to last, holding on too fast)
‘Cause this world surely ain’t gonna last
(And in this world of promises, we have got to last)
But this world is not my home
No, this world is not my home
But this world is not my home
So I keep pressing on
To the better promises
