Promise - Laufey

I made a promise

To distance myself

Took a flight , through aurora skies

How we didn't say goodbye

Just see you very soon

It's worse to be nothing with you

e d c g e d d
So I didn't call you
c e d d . . . c d
For sixteen long days
g e d d . . . a e d d
And I should get a cigarette
a e d c g#
For so much restraint

There's no solution

We'll never last

I called you last night
c e d d , c e f e
I shouldn't have , I wouldn't have

If it weren't for the sight of a boy

Who looked just like you , standing out on Melrose Avenue
