She knows what I've become
And she sees right through me
She's so the smoking gun
Never hanging loosely
She told chase my dreams
She'll be waiting for me
And now I'm stuck between
Excuses that I'm making
Hold your head up high and please the crowd
But come back down to see me,
Promise when you're forced to go away
That you'll still believe in me
After all that's done and I'm back home
Where I'd be alone
We can laugh and reminisce about
Promises that were made in this song
She cries gently on my sleeve
So I explain I leave next week
She swears she's happy but she said
That she predicted just this scene
And she said the day would come
That music takes you away
Oh she said, she said go change the world
But first I must say
Hold your head up high and please the crowd
But come back down to see me,
Promise when you're forced to go away
That you'll still believe in me
After all that's done and I'm back home
Where I'd be alone
We can laugh and reminisce about
Promises that were made in this song
All the promises
All the promises
All the promises
Hold your head up high and please the crowd
But come back down to see me,
Promise when you're forced to go away
That you'll still believe in me
After all that's done and I'm back home
Where I'd be alone
We can laugh and remanence about
Promises that were made in this song
I hear the motor running
Waiting for me in the driveway
My future's coming the teardrops
Slipping down her cheek stunning
Crying laughing hearts rushing
This bittersweet moment hideous beauty
Her look her stare they pierce through me
The driver impatient his horn is blaring
My future awaits my past just staring
Hold your head up high and please the crowd
But come back down to see me,
Promise when you're forced to go away
That you'll still believe in me
After all that's done and I'm back home
Where I'd be alone
We can laugh and reminisce about
Promises that were made in this song
