[Intro]
I promised you that I would be waiting
I would be waiting right here for your return
You said that there was no need to
No need to linger as those bridges have been burned

[Chorus]
And you said, "Don't wait for me or you'll wait for eternity
There's so many things you want to do and see"
And how I need to understand that you've made other plans
And none of them include me
They don't include me

[Verse 1]
I promised you that I would never forget
Forget the promises I made when you were mine
And you just laughed and said, "What arе you saying?"
Can't you see I'm laying, laying it all on the line?

[Chorus]
And you said, "Just let it bе" and you have to set me free
And there's so many things you want to do and see
And how I need to understand that you've made other plans
And none of them include me
They don't include me
[Verse 2]
And I know you think I don't ever listen
And you say I don't even know how
Well maybe I don't want to hear you say, "It's over"
And that's why I don't want to listen now

[Verse 3]
So go if you must go, I hope you find it
I hope you find the dream you've been looking for
And I guess that I'll just have to grin and bear it
But honey I swear it, I'll love you forever more

[Chorus]
And I'm sorry if I couldn't be what you wanted me to be
But I'm sure I could change, if you just stayed here, you'd see
And I will never understand why you made other plans
And why none of them include me
They don't include me

[Outro]
So I promise you that I will be waiting
I will be waiting right here for your return
Like a stray dog, you will find me in the embers
The embers of those bridges that you burned
