Promises

I’ve heard they’ve all packed and gone,
Their lives our gods have now forgotten
The price to pay is not enough,
And who returns is down to luck
They say that hero will never die,
Tell that to a son as their sights align
Another number is counted up,
A perfect one which has never stuck
And there are just so many promises,
And even if one is a lie
That’s just enough for me,
To not wanna try
And there are just so many promises,
And even if one is a lie
That’s just enough for me,
To not wanna try
I always try my best but nothing ever turns out just right
(To not wanna try)
I always try my best but nothing ever turns out just right
There’s a thousand parts to me,
That’s a lot of things to be
And there’s a lot of heart to bruise,
Almost too much of it to choose
They say that a hero will never die,
Tell that to my son as their sights align
Another number is counted up,
Our perfect one which we loved so much
And there are just so many promises,
And even if one is a lie
That’s just enough for me,
To not wanna try
And there are just so many promises,
And even if one is a lie
That’s just enough for me,
To not wanna try
I always try my best but nothing ever turns out just right
(To not wanna try)
I always try my best but nothing ever turns out just right
To not wanna try
To now wanna try
I’m just about holding on, I’m always just a little young
