Swallow My Tears lyrics - 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
