A Promise To Keep Lyrics - Bear Creek - Brandi Carlile

I still talk to you in my sleep 

I don't say much cause the hurt runs too deep 

I gave you the moon and the stars to keep 

but you gave them back to me 

The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep 

but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep 

I still lay on my side of the bed 

I dance alone when the last bottle's spent 

memories like a river runnin through my head 

I'll have me an ocean before I'm dead

The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep 

but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep 

I still whisper sweet words to you 

and when I'm busy, or have nothing to do 

I pray to god, that my words ring true 

and that your words might reach me too 

The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep 

but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep 

I can't keep it...

My hearts in pieces so please understand 

I've tried to jump, but I've nowhere to land 

so give me your heart and I'll give you my hand 

and I'll try as goddamn hard as I can 

The hill I'm walkin up is gettin good and steep 

but I'm still looking for a promise even I can't keep
