Set It Off - I Promise lyrics

[Verse 1] If you step back and realize I'm sure that you'll see That these words that were spoken Eventually Will dwell in my conscience 'Til my dying day Oh, what can I say To change your perception? Want me by your side The fact that you've moved on Makes me want to cry And if you open your door I'll be there with arms wide Just begging and praying For one more goodbye [Pre-Chorus] So I'll wait for you Even though you don't want me to [Chorus] Because I'm not over you I promise This word they call love Come push or to shove I meant it and now I'm in tears My love Oh, my love [Verse 2] I keep telling myself that It's not what it seems And wish that you wouldn't Keep haunting my dreams I'll shoot out of bed and Wake up in a sweat How could I forget? I imagined the worst when We were on the phone As you sat there and told me That you were alone I can see him, I know how He makes you behave That this wasn't the girl That I kissed on our date [Pre-Chorus] But I'll wait for you Even though you don't want me to [Chorus] Because I'm not over you I promise This word they call love Come push or to shove I meant it and now I'm in tears Because I'm not over you I promise You won't see this face Show up at your place Although I'm in town, I'll stay here My love Oh, my love My love Oh, my love [Bridge] And I should know better Give up while I can And prove to the world That I'll be my own man You broke me and took me Along for the ride And this pain that you've left me Should make me subside [Chorus] But I'm not over you (I'm not over you I'm not over you I'm not over you) I promise This word they call love Come push or to shove (I wish I could do anything To get you back) I meant it and now I'm in tears Because I'm not over you ('Cause I'm over) I promise You won't see this face Show up at your place (Don't let me go) Although I'm in town, I'll stay here 'Cause I'm not over you I promise This word they call love Come push or to shove I meant it and now I'm in tears My love
