Your Promise To Be Mine Lyrics

To lose you would break my heart
You said that we would never part
But I won't hold you to your promise
Your promise to be mine

I'll be lonely when you are gone
Some way, somehow I'll, I'll carry on
Still I won't hold you to your promise
Your promise to be mine

After all in loving you
Who could think you could ever leave me
But now I'm I'm hurt, so hurt
Because you want to be free

I'll miss you, everyone knows
That's the way life goes
Still I won't hold you to your promise
Your promise to - be - mine

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
