Promises - Badly Drawn Boy

I promise you will get old
I promised you everything
To protect you wherever you go
I'll give you this diamond ring

Just promise you will remember
A promise should last forever
Right up to the dying embers
Of a fire that burns so slow

It's a different day everyday
Don't want you to walk alone
But how can we carry on
When all of these things have gone

Just promise you will remember
That promises last forever
Still after the last dying embers
Of a fire that burns so slowly

It's a beautiful thing to do
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Remember I do love you
Have courage in what you say

And promise you will remember
That promises last forever
Still after the dying embers
The fire that burns so slowly

And sometimes you just have to walk away
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Wishing today was yesterday
Yeah, sometimes you just have to walk away

Speaking today, without any words was enough. I don't think I could survive much more. Still, I am doing the best I can, and that's all I can do. I think this song is absolutely beautiful, and so appropriate in everything I've found. I wasn't very surprised, but I still just didn't want to know. I guess that's how these things go.

Waiting to Be Found Anew (or I’m Still Here)

If I should wander, or if I should err
Please believe in me; I will still be here
And if the silence should swallow
Every single note my heart sings to you
And if these dreams are filled with sorrow
I am waiting still to be found anew, by you

I may not have long now; I may not have much
But, I still believe in you, and I still believe in love
And if the taste should suddenly become bitter
And all your photos be forgotten in a hurry
I have not missed or lost a single silent letter
And my memory hasn’t become quite so blurry

To erase the vision of you in my arms,
The smile I loved, and tiny hands I’d hold
And leave you forgotten in the cold

I know I’m not perfect, nor is my life complete
I’ve just been waiting here, lost in my dreams
And if you should find yourself, one day, within your sleep
In places long forgotten and memories held so deep
I will remain adrift somewhere in this sea
And, I hope, someday, you will come and find me
