“Promise”

I will push you away,

Scared to death of what you might say

afraid of what lurks inside my mind

like a bad dream, it always follows close behind

"I would promise you the world, but it would be a lie

for my heart now; could never reach that high”

I cried myself to sleep tonight

by this lonely candle light

I cut myself to drown out the pain

but it all hurts just the same

my emotions so unstable

loving, hurting and so unable

"I would promise you anything,

Just so as long as my heart could take it

but this is the closest to love as I will ever get"

I hope this is enough

deep down you make me happy

because I would promise you
