swallow my tears

Gwen Stefani

The past keeps chasin me around
I thought I lost it, but then it found me
Like it always does
Dragging me back to who I was
And I m runnin , I m runnin
But not from you

I stay one step ahead of the pain
I keep an umbrella when there s no rain
I got my guard up when there s no war
Don t know what I m fighting for

Give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise, I promise I want you here
I want you here
But first let me swallow my tears

Lookin for God, I m prayin , kneelin
Had to go and do some healin
Sorry I was ghostin you (Ghostin you)
But what was I supposed to do?
I m runnin , I m runnin
But not from you

I stay one step ahead of the pain
I keep an umbrella when there s no rain
I got my guard up when there s no war
Don t know what I m fighting for

Give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise, I promise I want you here
I want you here

Oh, give me a second, I need to swallow my tears
I promise, I promise
I promise I want you here (I want you here)
I want you here (I need you here)
I want you here (I want you here)
I want you here (I need you here)

I promise, I promise, I promise
I promise, I promise, I promise
