One-Trick Phony - Promise

You have my eyes
And a handful of other traits I recognize
But try to hide
I can't imagine what you feel inside
It's not easy to square this circle or rectify
What's in your mind
Growing up is hard enough
I know you feel like giving up
Don't be so hard on yourself
If you go astray
Get lost on your way
I promise I will catch you
Whenever you fall
'Til you find your way
I'm right here to stay
I hope you carry these words
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
I know it's hard to take advice
You're acting like you're cold as ice
I get it, what do I know
I see myself in you
That should explain why I'm so hard on you
Just trying to spare you all that I've been through
Be some help to you
In spite of everything
I've done wrong
All wrong
Never run away
It won't go away
Cuz your fears will chase you
Wherever you go
Wherever you go
When you're old and all grown up
I'm sure you'll question every single choice we made
You know I can relate
I did my best, yeah I did my best
To teach you all that I know
It's so hard to let you figure it out on your own
Was it enough
Was it too much
Was I enough
Or not enough
If you go astray
Get lost on your way
I promise I will catch you
Whenever you fall
'Til you find your way
I'm right here to stay
I hope you carry these words
Wherever you go
If you go astray
Get lost on your way
I promise I will catch you
Whenever you fall
'Til you find your way
I'm right here to stay
I hope you carry these words
Wherever you go
I remember all those sleepless nights
Never knowing if I could raise you right
I can't save you from yourself, unless
Let me help you, I promise I'll do my best
I remember all those sleepless nights
Never knowing if I could raise you right
I can't save you from yourself, unless
Let me help you, I promise I'll do my best
