"The Promise" lyrics - CELESTE

Who is it? You again? Thought you left
But you never go too far
Remember when we overslept
That morning when our thing fell apart?

[Pre-Chorus:]
But I never learn, I always lust, and over-trust
I do it to myself
But I can't be buryin' these feelings
When it's the best thing that I ever felt

[Chorus:]
You got my promise again
You had me pinin' when you left
Knowin' it's been ages, I'm takin' it in
Thought I was fine, ooh
Need to leave you behind

Maybe by September, I
Would have tried enough of other stuff
To know that you weren't right
But we never learn, we always lust, and over-trust
It happens overnight

[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't wanna be your enemy or something you need
To pass the time
So, excuse me if this comes as greed
But sometimes I just wanna go back and rewind

[Chorus:]
You got my promise again
You had me pinin' when you left
Knowin' it's been ages, I'm takin' it in
Thought I'd be fine, ooh
Need to leave you behind
Need to leave you behind

[Outro:]
It's been a long time, same decisions I make
Slowly lead me back to you
I'm in the open, lose all sense of knowin'
Are you onto someone new? Yeah
It's been a burden, but the burden, I'll take
For a day or two, yeah
It leaves me longin' for a certain moment
I hear a familiar tune
