Abandoning Promise (song)

As you'll see, I went back to the rhyming for a bit on this one.
I've been obsessively listening to Number One Gun, and got inspired by a friend tonight to write a song. Granted, it's a love song, so you'll have to bear with me if you're not into that stuff. Also, you can interpret it however you like. I kind of wrote it from a dual perspective of a guy-to-girl relationship, but I think it could also be a love song from God to a girl (I'd include guys but...verse 2 kinda ruins that idea). Anyway, enjoy!

Smile and know
That you are loved
And so just rest
Your eyes
Don’t go
Believing all those lies

Laugh and see
That you were meant
To be the very girl
You are
Now shine just like
(The) a star (that you are)


Oh! And then
The world makes sense again.
You see,
I've found
What makes my
Heart pound.
And to my surprise
All along it's been you
In disguise.


Run and leap
You’re in my book
Of things to keep
So take a look
At yourself
And see why I don't want
Anybody else

Oh! And then
The world makes sense again.
You see,
I've found
What makes my
Heart pound.
And to my surprise
All along it's been you
In disguise.



Don’t forget
What you can't remember
It’s not like you
As cold as December
To give up hope
Abandoning promise
So you can cope
So you can cope
(You’re worth more than this)


Oh! And then
The world makes sense again.
You see,
I've found
What makes my
Heart pound.
And to my surprise
All along it's been you
In disguise.

Oh! And then
The world makes sense again.
Don’t you see?
I've found
What makes my
Heart pound.
And to my surprise
All along (all along)
All along it's been you...
