That's a promise I can keep
Assurance that the speaker will keep a promise.
For my glare once held your scene
The speaker's gaze once defined your existence or experience.
And then wept for who played me
The speaker expressed sorrow for those who manipulated or deceived them.
Don't hold your breath to return

All alone, there is more to be seen
When alone, there is more to discover or understand.
This puzzle grows and recedes

Far from me
Things that seem distant or far away.
All alone, we have yet to believe
Despite solitude, belief in a universal song that connects everyone.
