The absence of her is getting heavy
On the 7th she told me that she wouldn't leave
She made me make these promises 
And I won't break them
So I'm here waiting on the day that you get back

Maybe one day you'll wake up
See the man that loves you more than himself
You told me that I'm too good for you
Isn't that what you want in a guy
Someone who has respect for you

It just wasn't a promise to me 
It was a hope for a better life and it still is
So I'll wait forever because I'm not like the other guys
They tell you that they will wait forever and then they leave you
