You Promised

I thought that I was doing the right thing
That this way we'd both be saved
From complications that relationships can bring

I felt that friendship would be enough
Felt that by not taking things further
We'd keep both of our lives smooth instead of rough

But now, whenever you're in my sight
My heart, it just beats so much faster
Emotions won't stay grounded; they take off into flight

Chorus:
You promised not to kiss me
That you'd only be my friend
Now I'm wondering how to make that promise end
You promised not to touch me
Now I'm aching for your touch
I didn't know I'd regret this promise so much

I have been taken by surprise
I didn't think that this would happen
Only now am I starting to realize

Fate will win out every time
It isn't tame; you can't control it
Fate will lead the heart to what it needs to find

I know I made you make that promise
I was wrong; how can I show you?
Is there a way to change your mind in all of this?

Chorus
