From Now On
I promise I’ll not hide behind a lie
and stop hanging out at the bar all night.
A part of me dies when I hear you cry,
for I know what I am doing isn't right.
I cannot change what I've already done;
there's no way for me to erase the past.
And the time of reckoning has begun;
the embarrassing questions have been asked.
If you want me to, I will walk away;
every chance you have given me, I've blown.
And I know there is nothing I can say;
if you decide, you're better off alone.
But if you believe we still have a chance,
from now on, only roses and romance.
