[Mark T & Sonny]
Holdin' hands strollin' through the park (Oooohhh)
Sweet memories (Yeahhh)
Are torn apart (Ooohh)
I made a promise I could not keep (I could not keep)
I played around oh girl I made you weep
[Chorus Mark T & Sonny]
I had a choice and I chose wrong
I made a promise girl to leave it alone
You gave me trust I threw it away
Baby please
[NBK]

Sonny, Son, Son
Yeah
How roses, love notes, and apologies does it take?
How many more lonely nights do I stay awake?
Reminiscin' of the times you would do whatever
Sneak out your window so that we can be together
And when your daddy said he would kill your boyfriend
Not even he could seperate us back then
I wish these thoughts would've been going through my mind
When I broke this promise and I made you cry
Forgive me, I wish it was a dream, that I might awake
To your lovin' arms around me
I guess I gave in to man's deepest weakness
I'm at your mercy begging for forgiveness
I had a choice and I chose wrong
Now I'm trying to make it better writing you this song
I love you more than anything up in this world
Never wanna lose you, forgive me, girl, uh
[Chorus]
I sat back, took my time, wrote these rhymes
Words I never express, the type of things that I'm sayin'
Right out the top of the head, I ain't lyin'
Even cried when I wrote it, and every time I read it
Tear it up and throw it
Think of back to the days when you didn't know what life was
Cuz at the same time I gave it to ya, I took it from ya
And now I understand why you can't look me in my eyes there again
Sittin' underneath the candle light tryin' to 'rize the same lines
Feel it even more when the paper tore from writin' so hard
All hands down with my heart on the floor
Cuz I knew I fucked up, comin' out a broken man
Please, Lord, control my hand and have your angels bless these words
From a man coming from a broken world
And every time I stopped, your face I saw, your voice I heard
Visions of your tears hauntin' my dreams
Forgive me
[Chorus]
[Mark T & Sonny]
Cuz girl, you know that I wanna love you forever more
Forever and ever, never, n-n-never leave me, baby
I wanna have you right by my side
Cuz you are my lady
Please don't leave me, baby, baby
[Chorus to end]
I got to have you by my side
I made a promise, girl
I wanna do you right
Oh yeahhhh
Lady, lady
