promises.

i'll promise i love you
until my heart turns black and blue
when my heart splits in two
sideways and then all the way through

i'll promise to never say goodbye
stay right by your side
even when you're hurting inside
be there as your guide

you'll never have to worry, my dear
i promise you i'll always be near
and you know i've been here
through it all, year after year

when the storm comes, i swear
i'd wait it out with you there
holding your hand, we're a pair
give you all the love in your despair

this vow i'll hold on to
make sure i follow on through
this is definitely something new
and i am staying true

with these promises, i turn around inside
two fingers are together tied
and one hand is behind
sorry hun, i've lied.

there's a reason you're not in my life anymore.
that reason is because i couldn't stand you anymore.
