Promises
I will promise to hold your hand
when you make your final stand
I will go down with you as far as you can go
because i love you more than you will ever know
you are my only promise in this forsaken place
the one thing i will always love
all i need to know is written on your face
you are the shining light coming from above
I love you more than poetic words can say
so please, promise me you can stay
sadly i know you can't, sadly i know you won't
just don't die, i love you too much, so please don't
promise me you will stay around
all i can hear is this one, absorbing sound
you're dying
and I was lying
when i said I would go with you
that I would be with you wherever you go
I guess I always knew
that I would lose you tomorrow
I promised to stay with you, but you're fading so fast
only if time would reverse and we could disappear into the Past
I love you more than this emptying life
I wish so much that you could have been my wife
but promises are broken
and all i have is this broken heart as a reminding token
that I can't go with you
and that I will still love you
