Lyrics of I can promise you

I wrote this record lovingly in her name
We grew to understand the challenges that came
I respected why she left and knew she had to grow
When she came back i thought by now she'd know

I can promise you
I thought i'd only write for you
I can promise you
I never thought pain would come from you

A disappointment is all it's been to me
A hand i've held so long is slipping out of reach
Oh, there's nothing wrong with the choice that you've made
But with all the respect i gave i thought you'd think before you say
