Hilson, Keri - Promise In The Dark Lyrics






Listen...

Can't count on you most of all when I really need it
It's the simple things that you do really hurt my feelings
The more I try, the more I'm starting to see it
This can't work anymore, than you believe it

Goodbye may come as a shock
Even though I love you a lot
I've given every breath I've got
Sometimes you gotta break down and breathe

Add how many times I gave my heart
To how many times we fell apart
And it equals
A promise in the dark
So don't promise me

Add how many times I gave you me
Divided by so many memories
And it equals
A promise in the dark
So don't promise me

Listen...

I just don't know what the problem is, what the deal is
Was I there too much, did I move too fast, I couldn't see it?
All these promises are probably how you deal with it
I'm tired of hearing you say your innocent

Don't think I forgot
Because I really didn't, who cares if you're lying or not
I've given every breath I've got
Sometimes you gotta break down and breathe

Add how many times I gave my heart
To how many times we fell apart
And it equals
A promise in the dark
So don't promise me

Add how many times I gave you me
Divided by so many memories
And it equals
A promise in the dark
So don't promise me

We all make mistakes
Sometimes we do desperate things
What does it prove? NOTHING
And you never do nothing wrong

Then what took you so long, took you so long
Cuz I keep, keep hanging on, keep, keep hanging on

Add how many times I gave my heart
To how many times we fell apart
And it equals
A promise in the dark
So don't promise me

Add how many times I gave you me
Divided by so many memories
And it equals
A promise in the dark
So don't promise me
So don't promise me

    Woww😒 Some of y'all really want it to be Keri so bad..its an old song by Ravaughn Brown, Keri never sung it nor wrote it. Andrea Martin is the writer and gave it to Ravaughn to sing.

    And the Ms Keri Mixtape was fanmade which had a few errors
    For Example:
    One of the songs on there called "What Channel" is actually by singer Sara Stokes, but someone tagged Keri's name because they so thought it SOUNDED like Keri.

  67. B.... L....

    I had an ex I felt this way with. Him and I were on and off for 3 years, but he never gave me a chance. No matter how many times he would tell me he'd want to be with me, he would still disappear just as soon as things started to get serious or good. He would disappear for about 3 months at a time and just randomly message me out of the blue, and the same old thing would start all over again. And this went on for 3 years! He never gave me a reason, he never apologized, he would just disappear and come back into my life like nothing ever happened. The last time we were together, he tried for 8 months to get with me, but I wasn't quite ready after a big breakup. When I finally gave him a chance, after 8 months of waiting, everything was good for a couple of weeks, then the third week he was distant and cold. By the fourth week, he had completely disappeared. He deleted me and everything. A few months later he messages me out of the blue again and asks how I'm doing and whatnot, seeming like everything was starting over again. It seemed hard to shake him sometimes, even though I knew the relationship was never going to be and that I would end up in the same situation as always. I even asked him what happened and about our relationship, and he just told me we were never together, even though we clearly were. He asked me out and I finally said yes, after how many ever times of asking me (I found out eventually that he was actually with someone else). He tried to act like nothing happened and even asked me to go to the movies with him. The night of the movie, he has a guy friend tag-along and basically ignores the entire time. I spent all day getting ready too, for him. I think he was embarrased of me and he even tried to hide it when he did finally hold my hand a little during the movie. Afterwards, I thought I was going over to his house, but he took me back home and didn't really say anything when I got out of the car. I ended up crying that night and after texting him, he ends up calling and asking what's wrong. I tell him, but of course he had to use his stupid charm on me and I fell for it again. Of course it didn't last long and I finally got myself out of that toxic relationship. I wasn't myself when around him, I was too caught up in his charm and my love for him (or what I thought was love). But it's been years now and I am happier than ever. I am so much stronger and confident, cause with him, he made me hate myself. But now I realize that I love myself and didn't need him in my life.
