As a child I recall I had once believed I would die before I reached seventeen Seventeen I remember I faced the truth When I understood your prophecy was confused When all is done there is little that can guide everyone along The faltered line you mumbled on the day you left us behind
Nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here You promised me Nothing is clear though you promised me You promised me that you'd be here Nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here You promised me Though nothing was clear
As a child hope is what keeps us young Like a fuel it will burn until you are strong If you're weak you'll never see past the day Like a cynic you will probably feel betrayed If one thing's clear there is certainly little of value here And when we die inevitably we're leaving all this behind
Nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here You promised me Nothing is clear though you promised me You promised me that you'd be here Nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here You promised me Though nothing was clear
