A Promise To Burn

Framing Hanley A Promise To Burn Lyrics
1.Intro


2.The Promise

She said It's just like Hollywood and I'm afraid
Because the boy forgets the girl while she sits at home and
waits
But you promised me you won't
And you've never lied so please don't.

If you want LA then go to LA
Despite the miles between us
My heart will never change
'cause you're all that it beats for
When you walk back through the door

I'm not saying that I don't believe
I'm exactly where I want to be
Don't you take that from me
No

You know that I still get lost in your eyes?
With your lips and your kiss and your hand in mine.
You're all that I need
And I promise I'll sleep fine tonight
Just knowing you're here by my side
Don't give this up
Don't give this up

I'm not saying that I don't believe
I'm exactly where I want to be
Don't you take that from me
No

You keep on running you're running away
I'll be here waiting, wishing you could stay
But I'll just remember the promise that you made

I'll keep on fighting and fighting for you,
I swear I would give you the sun and the moon
If you just remember the promise you made

I'm not saying that I don't believe
I'm exactly where I want to be
Don't you take that from me
No

I'm not saying that I don't believe
I'm exactly where I want to be
Don't you take that from me
Don't you take that from me


3.Wake Up

You turn it around
There's something safe in the way that you say
That you don't like the sound
Of that again
Well I could be wrong
But there's a chance this little dance
It won't last too long again
All you are is all I need

Call me when you wake up
And I will be the one to bring you home again
I'll bring you home again
And I always tried to see the best in you
Though I see the other side
I see the other side

I watched you fall
And now I'm afraid that there's just no time left at all
We're both runaways
We made some big mistakes
And I just wanna fix this, wanna fix this now.
Well can we fix this now?

All you are is all I need
And all you want is all you'll be

Call me when you wake up
And I will be the one to bring you home again
I'll bring you home again
And I always tried to see the best in you
Though I see the other side
I see the other side

This isn't what you said I'd become
When I left everything where it was
But I'm still hanging on to believe
That you're gonna change
You're gonna change your ways
Can you change your ways

Before it's too late
I wanna forgive you
Before it's too late
I wanna forgive you
Before it's too late
I wanna forgive you
What if it gets too late

Call me when you wake up
And I will be the one to bring you home again
I'll bring you home again
And I always tried to see the best in you
Though I see the other side
I tried, I tried and I tried
Though I see the other side


4.Bittersweet Sundown

I've scribbled out my view on faith
On waiting until timing's right
I've sat and pondered on this for days
And days and night and nights and nights

I've never been the best with lines
I've got seventeen pantomimes
That give away the words I say
Are nothing that you should believe

All we are is a bittersweet sundown
Little bit love and a little bit letdown
I can't keep you around
I can't keep you around
In this bittersweet sundown

I've had a lot of time to think
About where this all went south
I wanted you less and less until none and done
And now we're all sold out

You can tell me we'll be just fine
Quentin says you've got twenty pantomimes
That give away my first mistake
Was not convincing you to believe

That all we are is a bittersweet sundown
Little bit love and a little bit letdown
I can't keep you around
I can't keep you around
In this bittersweet sundown

Trust me when I say
You'd make all the same mistakes
And every promise would be made to break
You'd make all the same mistakes
If you knew that you could get away
I'd let you get away
I'd let you get away

All we are is a bittersweet sundown
You gave me every bit of your heart
And I'm the one that let you down
I can't keep you around
I can't keep you around
In this bittersweet sundown
We're a bittersweet sundown
We're a bittersweet memory now


5.Warzone

Change your ways for them
It's all part of the game we play
Fight for what you could never ever win
Take a number welcome to LA

This is where it's led
I think about the ways,
The means, the in betweens
Completely lose my head
I think about the exit plan
Where does this end
You better keep your head down

My life is a warzone
Torn between what's right and wrong
My life is a warzone
There's no way out I'm gonna end up hurting someone

I creep around over egg shells down at that start
Don't know how I'm gonna make it today
Frustrated and losing myself in the part
Now the white coats come to put me away

Hanging by a thread
I live without time for what's real
These moments I must steal
I pick through what's left
I live without letting pain i feel
Have a chance to heal
You better keep your head down

My life is a warzone
Torn between what's right and wrong
My life is a warzone
There's no way out I'm gonna end up hurting someone

I've been waiting for better days
These hard times won't go away
I still haven't found my way
Well there's nothing left to leave behind
I won't give you what is mine
I'll be fine
You better keep your head down

My life is a warzone
Torn between what's right and wrong
My life is a warzone
There's no way out I'm gonna end up hurting someone


6.You Stupid Girl

Feels like the walls are closing in on me
I'm suffocating, I can barely breathe
You've got me right where you want me

This is the side of you I've never seen
You're not the girl that you used to be
And you've got me right where you want me

You always know how to bring me down
Let's just face it now I'm never changing

You are my world, my everything
You stupid girl, you will be the death of me
So let me go, just let me be
You stupid girl, I love the way you're killing me
You stupid girl

You're like an angel but with broken wings
A heart so cold can never show mercy
And you've got me right where you want me

You are my world, my everything
You stupid girl, you will be the death of me
So let me go, just let me be
You stupid girl, love the way you're killing me
You stupid girl
You stupid girl

I know I'm a bastard, I'm not a coward
Why can't you see what you're doing to me?
I know I'm a bastard, I'm not a coward
Why can't you see what you're doing to me?

Open your eyes, open your eyes

This is killing me

You are my world, my everything
You stupid girl, you will be the death of me
So let me go, just let me be
You stupid girl, love the way you're killing me
(You're killing me)
You stupid girl
(You're killing me)
You stupid girl


7.Weight of the World

Who's to say there's a way this has to end.
We're writing our own rules,
Who's to blame give me names and what they said.
Oh how could they hurt you
And when you crumble away under pressure
You need to borrow my strength and I'll let ya.
It's getting heavier, hold, hold it steadier I see

Life is throwing you curves
You can make it
Take it in, try again
You don't deserve this
I just wanna save you
You can take it
On the chin, try again
You'll make it
You don't have to carry the weight of the world
You don't have to carry the weight of the world

Separate what you hate from what you love
Once and for all and
If you tumble my way I can catch ya
If you follow my lead and I'll bet ya
It's feeling heavier, hold, hold it steadier I see

Life is throwing you curves
You can make it
Take it in, try again
You don't deserve this
I just wanna save you
You can take it
On the chin, try again
You'll make it
You don't have to carry the weight of the world
You don't have to carry the weight of the world

Life is throwing you curves
You can make it
Take it in, try again
You don't deserve this
I just wanna save you
You can take it
On the chin, try again
You'll make it
You don't have to carry the weight of the world
Don't have to carry the weight of the world
Carry the weight of the world
You don't have to carry the weight of the world
Who's to say there's a way this has to end?


8.Fool with Dreams

You're a diamond how I found you I still don't know
But now I've got you and I'll never let you go
If your heart's a pocket looking for some change
My heart makes lots of sense
Just stay quiet, breathe deep, breathe out, breathe slow
Don't say a word
Let our eyes speak
And they will tell you

I'm a fool with dreams
And not a lot of things
I swear that I will be all you need
Don't give up on me
Give me one more day
Don't give this all away
We'll be fine you'll see
Just don't give up on me

I'd be lying if I said that I'm not terrified
Well how the hell can I do as they say and take this all in
stride
Does this come with an instruction book
If so I need to have a look
Just stay quiet, breathe deep, breathe out, breathe slow
Don't say a work
Let our eyes speak
And they will tell you

I'm a fool with dreams
And not a lot of things
I swear that I will be all you need
Don't give up on me
Give me one more day
Don't give this all away
We'll be fine you'll see
Just don't give up on me
Don't give up on me

I know you're scared inside
But baby so am I
It gets so hard to hide
I'm not going nowhere
I'm not going nowhere

I'm a fool with dreams
And not a lot of things
I swear that I will be all you need
Don't give up on me
Give me one more day
Don't give this all away
We'll be fine you'll see
You'll see, you'll see

I'm a fool with dreams
And not a lot of things
I swear that I will be all you need
Don't give up on me
Give me one more day
Don't give this all away
We'll be fine you'll see
Just don't give up on me
Don't give up on me


9.Back to Go Again

Is this really open to discuss?
Maybe we should just hang it up
We were so close
They said we were so far
And we swore by now we'd have them wow'd
But we're still stuck in this race.
With hopes and dreams a ton
When did we stop having fun?
We got lost somewhere they're not and

Do you remember when
We said it would never end
We won't back down
This time around
Stop where you are and wish
Little things couldn't kill this.
Count down from ten
We could be back to go again

Maybe we started phoning it in
But then again the numbers wouldn't quite make sense
They don't lie
Give me 10,000 eyes
And this isn't a song about candy
But we're still suckers the same
We fell for your lies
Each and every time
We got lost somewhere they're not and

Do you remember when
We said it would never end
We won't back down
This time around
Stop where you are and wish
Little things couldn't kill this.
Count down from ten
We could be back to go again
Back to go again, again

Time is like a bullet train
Running off the tracks
And it's never coming back
So let's grab this while we can
It's all in our hands
Do you remember when
Do you remember and

Do you remember when
We said it would never end
We won't back down
This time around
Stop where you are and trust
'cause little things would better kill us
Count down from ten
We could be back to go again


10.Livin' So Divine

Just a panic I can't get straight
I know this is under my control
It's apparent you got here late
But it's not too late if you wanna
Go on a trip to find out what is real
And now what they told you to feel
Oh my god

Don't look so low
You're starting to drag me under
Don't let them know
Or you're gonna blow our cover
Livin' so divine
Opens up your mind
Buy the ticket, take the ride

Lights are louder than words you speak
Relax it's all part of the show
You haven't even started to peak
That's when you'll really
Go on a trip to find out what is real
And now what they told you to feel
Oh my god

Don't look so low
You're starting to drag me under
Don't let them know
Or you're gonna blow our cover
Livin' so divine
Opens up your mind
Buy the ticket, take the ride

I just wanna tell you
But I just can't say a word

Oh my god

Don't look so low
You're starting to drag me under
Don't let them know
Or you're gonna blow our cover
Livin' so divine
Opens up your mind
Buy the ticket, take the ride
Take the ride


11.You

If you're still up for chasing dreams
I've got a bottle, two glasses and a backseat.
And a lot of things to resolve
If you've got the time at all

I'm not one to be much different
Than who I really am
I lived my life for way too long
Trying to please everyone else.

Sometimes I should probably
Just bite my goddamn tongue
Will I've said too much a few times
But how much is enough

For you
'cause I don't want to lose you

I was thinking about telling you
I was in love
I was in love with you

No palace of words will make this better
If there's deceit in every letter
You came to me with hope for a future
And I came to you with a waiting line

For you
'cause I don't want to lose you

I was thinking about telling you
I was in love
I was in love with you
With you
With you
I'm in love with you


12.Photographs And Gasoline

No use taking off your clothes
We won't be going there tonight.
You were kind enough to say hello
I figured I could at least say goodbye
The way I was thinking about
Telling you that I was in love with her
I'm still in love with her.

Oh look at this web I wove

So take this photograph
And I'll take this empty frame
I won't be coming back.
You're not the one to blame
The chemistry between
Liars like you and me
Ignites like gasoline

Wait, wait, wait, let me set the record straight.
I was never really yours in the first place

Now oh look at this web I wove
I told you I would break your heart

So take this photograph
And I'll take this empty frame
I won't be coming back.
But you're not the one to blame
The chemistry between
Liars like you and me
Ignites like gasoline

Explosions all around me
There's no place that I'd rather be than home
With her beside me I'm home
Take me home again

Is this where you thought I'd be
Hows this for your spotlight
I thought you said something about me
Well you better get your facts straight

So take this photograph
And I'll take this empty frame
I won't be coming back.
But you're not the one to blame
Well the chemistry, chemistry between
Liars like you and me
Ignites like gasoline


13.The Burn

I was all smiles
When I signed on the dotted line
And after these thousands of miles
I don't know what in life is mine

And what's been taking from me
There's so much I could say
But I don't know where to start
Where to start, where to start

I took the bullet and I never thought twice.
I'm always the coolest when there's money in their eyes

Let's burn down this angel town
Let's burn Hollywood to the ground

Cynics all around
They wear masks I wanna see
They make audible sounds
But never say anything
How can I give you my life
If there's nowhere left to go

When it's over I took the bullet,
took the heat, I took the fall
I guess I was foolish to believe after all

Let's burn down this angel town
Let's burn Hollywood to the ground
They took all my dreams and all of my things
My family counted on me
And I can't let them down
Let them down

Let's burn Hollywood
'Cause Hollywood, Hollywood lied
Let's burn down this angel town
Let's burn Hollywood to the ground
They took all my dreams and all of my things
My family counted on my
And let everyone down
I let you down

Let's burn down Hollywood
'Cause Hollywood, Hollywood lied
