Can you promise this

to the grave

can you promise me?

[Verse]
F# D# A#m G#
All this time I've prayed for this day to come true,
F# D# A#m G#
'Cause no one knows how deep the waves we waded through.

I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
F# D# A#m G#
'Cause no one knows how far apart we stayed to get through.

I wish I could take your hand and make it true.
F# D# A#m G#
'Cause no one knows how far apart we stay to get through.

"I swear on the cross"

can you promise me?
