Lyrics

Verse 1

I walk the dusty road we once walked side by side,
The fields still whisper your name in the wind.
You chased the city lights, left the stars of our sky,
And I was the fool who believed you’d return again.

Chorus

For I held on to a promise carved in stone,
But it was only me, I should have known.
You found city love, left my heart undone,
While the villagers laugh — they say I was the one
Too blind to see, too weak to let go,
Clinging to a vow you forgot long ago.

Verse 2

They mock me in the market, their whispers cut deep,
“How long will she wait for a ghost she can’t keep?”
But I still see your shadow where the river bends,
Still hear the echo of the words you never meant.

Chorus

For I held on to a promise carved in stone,
But it was only me, I should have known.
You found city love, left my heart undone,
While the villagers laugh — they say I was the one
Too blind to see, too weak to let go,
Clinging to a vow you forgot long ago.

Bridge

I was the fool with faith in your eyes,
But love built on sand can’t survive.
Now I walk this path all alone,
Carrying the weight of a promise of stone.

Final Chorus

For I held on to a promise carved in stone,
But it was only me, I should have known.
The city took you, the years took their toll,
And I am the story the villagers told.
A foolish heart, too stubborn, too slow,
Clinging to a vow you forgot long ago.
