Promise to Try

[Verse 1] Little girl, don't you forget her face Laughing away your tears When she was the one who felt all the pain [Verse 2] Little girl, never forget her eyes Keep them alive inside I promise to try But it's not the same [Chorus] Keep your head held high Ride like the wind Never look behind, life isn't fair That's what you said, so I try not to care [Verse 3] Little girl, don't run away so fast I think you forgot to kiss Kiss her goodbye [Chorus] Will she see me cry when I stumble and fall? Does she hear my voice in the night when I call? Wipe away all your tears, it's gonna be all right [Bridge] I fought to be so strong I guess you knew I was afraid You'd go away too [Verse 4] Little girl, you've got to forget the past And learn to forgive me I promise to try But it feels like a lie [Chorus] Don't let memory play games with your mind She's a faded smile frozen in time I'm still hanging on But I'm doing it wrong [Outro] Can't kiss her goodbye But I promise to try
