Skyline Promises
• Written by LilWRLDPain
**Skyline Promises**
Verse 1
Late-night city, heartbeat like a drum,
We ride through shadows, where the lost boys come from.
You fold my cold nights into something warm,
Turn my heavy shoulders to a place that’s calm.
Mama told me keep my circle small, keep it tight,
But you stayed when the rumors lit up the night.
Paper dreams and fast lanes, we learned to dodge the cost,
You my anchor when the skyline’s feelin’ lost.
Pre-Chorus
Ain’t no diamond fix the cracks inside my chest,
But when you breathe my name, it settles all the stress.
We count our blessings under streetlight confessions,
Holdin’ on to truth, not the flashy possessions.
Chorus
You my skyline promises, light on my roof,
When the world go cold, you the honest proof.
Hold me like you mean it, don’t let me go loose,
Ride through storms with me, baby, that’s the truth.
You my skyline promises, keepin’ me close,
Love louder than sirens, softer than my ghosts.
Verse 2
Old friends turned strangers, some doors got closed,
We learned to speak in silence, where the pain goes.
I been countin’ losses, but I keepin’ you in wins,
You mend the broken sentences my past begins.
Your laugh cut through the static, clearer than a bell,
I put my faith in us, watch the story swell.
We trade the flashy nights for mornings full of trust,
Turn the ashes of our doubts into gold and dust.
Pre-Chorus
I ain’t perfect, got my faults like lines on my skin,
But you love me messy — that’s where healings begin.
When the pressure push, we bend, never break,
We learn to build in pieces what the world tried to take.
Chorus
You my skyline promises, light on my roof,
When the world go cold, you the honest proof.
Hold me like you mean it, don’t let me go loose,
Ride through storms with me, baby, that’s the truth.
You my skyline promises, keepin’ me close,
Love louder than sirens, softer than my ghosts.
Bridge (rap — steady, confessional)
I seen nights where hope was just a flicker in the dark,
Friends switched up fast, left me with half a heart.
You stayed like constellations, steady, never part,
Turned my scattered pieces into something like art.
I’ll protect that love with every breath I take,
We outgrow the pain, learn from every mistake.
They talk about the fame, but they don’t know the weight,
You keep the real me safe when the cameras spray.
Breakdown (soft)
City hum in the distance, our whispers loud,
We plant our roots in concrete, rise above the clouds.
Promises in neon, vows in midnight prose,
You the rhythm to my steps — my skyline rose.
Final Chorus (full)
You my skyline promises, light on my roof,
When the world go cold, you the honest proof.
Hold me like you mean it, don’t let me go loose,
Ride through storms with me, baby, that’s the truth.
You my skyline promises, keepin’ me close,
Love louder than sirens, softer than my ghosts.
Outro (quiet)
Night folds, dawn peeks, we count the ways we chose,
Still here, still standin’—you my skyline promises.
