Black, Andy - The Promise Lyrics






Livin' on the West Side born and raised
Made a deal with the devil found glory days
There's no way, that I'll stay

Drivin' down on Highway 75
Watch the world come down on borrowed time
Find some way, to escape

But we all find home
We all find home

Do you remember all the plans we made
Hope and prayin' for a better day
Tell me whatever happened to the love we gave
The promise that we both betrayed

And the songs we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me whatever happened to what I've become?
The pain I feel for where I'm from

Hanging from the cross on 50 West
You got a dream and a chance to run from this
I'm locked in, believin'

Drinkin' till I'm lost and giving it up
Another day another chance to test my luck
Way out there, they won't care

But we can't get out
We can't get out

Do you remember all the plans we made
Hope and prayin' for a better day
Tell me whatever happened to the love we gave
The promise that we both betrayed

And the songs we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me whatever happened to what I've become?
The pain I feel for where I'm from

In the city, I found my hope
I know, I feel it
My purpose, to end it
I can't go home

Do you remember all the plans we made
Hope and prayin' for a better day
Tell me whatever happened to the love we gave
The promise that we both betrayed

And the songs we sang
The times we fought for everything
Tell me whatever happened to what I've become?
The pain I feel for where I'm from

Do you remember all the plans we made
Hope and prayin' for a better day
Tell me whatever happened to the love we gave
The promise that we both betrayed

    I love it 😍 from Hungary 2020

  2. k.... ....

    I wonder if Andy really made a deal with the devil.

  3. s.... k....

    Andy I'm from Ecuador, I admire you a lot, I don't know English but I try to translate your lyrics.
    How I would like to meet you in person.
    I am a fan of you, adept with your career. You're the best

  5. R.... O....

    Wow, I just found this. I've been waiting for a torchbearer to Bruce for so long I think I may have found it.

  6. M.... A....

  7. R.... A....

    Awesome 😎 song andy keep it up 👍

  8. S.... R....

    Muchos prefieren el trap y reggaetón que poseen letras discriminatorias a la mujer y sin sentido, cuando Andy escribe letras que vienen del corazón y con sentido, y no necesita autotune para sonar perfecto

  9. J.... G....

    Anyone else getting a Meat Loaf vibe from this? Absolutely incredible song

  10. a.... p....

    I don't think he realizes how much he means to us

  11. A.... F....

    I identify with this song (and all of andy's) its lyrics reach my heart, its desire to leave his city and succeed elsewhere is something that I am also going through and somehow this song gives me hope ❤😊

    Andy, thank you for always making genuine music that comes straight from the heart.

  41. v.... ....

    I didn't have anyone. But i promised to myself. I couldn't even keep it. Fuck.

  42. M.... F....

    it reminds me of a good friend, we're not the same, we fucked up this friendship..

  43. H.... M....

    Saw him live May 1st at Gramercy Theatre in New York City and 3 days later on May 4th i was him live again, this time at Asbury Lanes in New Jersey. And in between those concerts on May 3rd i saw Falling In Reverse (with CC from BVB drumming) live at Starland Ballroom in New Jersey. On May 4th Andy talked directly to me because i asked him a question, and on May 3rd Ronnie touched me twice, I crowdsurfed for the first time and spent the entire night over the security actually touching the stage

  44. A.... E....

    This song in super awesome

  45. T.... K....

    Awesome

  46. L.... Z....

    This sounds like it could be off Mama Mia and I kinda like it

  47. S.... D....

    I remember I used to listen to bvb when I was in high school...their songs used to make feel so much better! And now after 3 years I'm here again listening to Andy and I have tears of nostalgia :') this man has improved so much ♥️♥️

  48. M.... C....

    Beautiful, it makes me so emotional. Andy always killin itttt!

  49. K.... ....

    I oddly relate to this song 🤘🏼

  50. r.... j....

    Your great voice always makes me feel happy love all your songs handsome can't stop loving you

  51. A.... B....

    Crying because of the lyrics. Feeling better because I know I'm not the only one going through this pain.

  52. s.... d....

    I loved his rebellic songs about growing up and the standards and all this things, since I'm in this age myself, going trough puberty.
    But I also love his new songs, the deep, adult side full of stories with background. This side shows me that I can become something inspirational and beautiful as long as I don't give up.

    Amazing job, Andy. You taught me how to survive society and standards, now you're teaching me how to grow up and become better.

    I love u

  53. C.... M....

    Saw him live last night at Asbury Lanes and live this past Wedensday night at Gramercy Theater in New York City, the second was way better than the first, BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE, ANDY TALKED DIRECTLY TO ME LAST NIGHT

  54. T.... A....

    Ameii <3

  55. H.... M....

    I'm on my way to my second Andy Black concert right now as I'm writing this, my first time seeing him was this past Wednesday night

  56. H.... M....

    0:29 the made a deal with the devil huh sounds like Andy's taking inspiration from his movie American Satan

  57. B.... C....

    Andy has some hits and misses with his solo stuff but this song is a home run.
    This is really fucking good

  58. C.... M....

    I SAW HIM LIVE LAST NIGHT AT GRAMERCY THEATER IN NEW YORK CITY, BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE!

    C.... M....

    Same for the show I went to. I wish I could turn back time to relive that night! 😭

  59. C.... V....

    I'm seeing Andy tonight and I'm prepared for tears.

  60. D.... C....

  61. K.... S....

  71. C.... T....

    Damn, Andy hit the feels on this one

  72. L.... S....

    Andy is SO handsome.

  73. P.... T....

    If it hadn't been for Andy Black and Black Veil Brides, suicide would've gotten the best of me...
    Btw this song is really nice :)

    P.... T....

    PhoenixCore TV same! I listen to stuff like Motionless in White, Bring Me The Horizon just music like that and people always say that’s why I’m depressed but I just tell them that the meaning in the lyrics is why I’m still alive

  74. t.... R....

    I can so relate to this song rn :(

  75. C.... J....

    he's in my city tonight but i can't go

  76. B.... P....

    So reminiscent of Springsteen. Thematically, the reference to Glory Days, the piano throughout the song and especially the saxophone at the end. True rock n’ roll.

  77. F.... Y....

    I love how this song doesn't necessarily have to be about a relationship but can actually be what you want it to mean, depending on how you feel

  78. K.... R....

    💕💕💕💕💕

  79. D.... T....

    Lmao THIS SONG LITERALLY SUMS UP MY LIFE 😂💕.

  89. e.... ....

    It's seen that Ashton Irwin wrote the lyrics of this song

    e.... ....

    Ela Mizuła Ashton played drums on it, as he did on some of the songs on the first Andy Black album, The Shadow Side. Andy writes the lyrics to all of his solo project songs and the songs for his band, Black Veil Brides.
