learning to promise Lyrics

My self inflicted

Values, convictions

By virtue of my wish

All strain appears to fade

I'm learning, I'm changing

I'm learning to promise you'll never feel pain

From my hand that's outstretched to lift part of your burden

I'll move it, I'll move it, we'll move it, we'll move it

I pray my mistakes will not paint you with grief

While I pray for a marriage with you and your peace

Though my heart keeps on screaming, oh, what is this feeling?

Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum

I have to walk before I run

Have to stop, and smell the flowers 'til I learn

The time will pass anyway

So why don't I breathe

The sights, the smells, the everything

This life in me won't miss one bit

It's fine to say it's not your thing

But promise me this

To walk before you run

To stop, and smell the flowers 'til you learn

To walk before we run

To stop, and smell the flowers 'till we're done
