My Promise I'll Keep
When we first fell in love,
You told me you were scared.
Lovers always run away from
Problems in the love you shared.
I promised you that wasn't me
And I'd never run off on you.
If something happened in life,
Together we would see it through.
Well, that problem finally arrived
And I was shocked by surprise.
You were running away from me.
I didn't see any tears in your eyes.
Now we barely even talk.
You keep pushing me away,
Knowing that I promised you
That I would always stay.
This is going to hurt a lot,
That I can already tell.
You are going to break my heart
And put me through hell.
Even if I only get your love
Like scraps thrown to a stray,
I'll be right there waiting
For what you give that day.
And when we get past this,
I'll be right there for you.
I can't give up on our love.
I've never had one so true.
