Stronger than my demons, from you they run away.
Only too easy for you to fill their place.
Promise me you will not leave.
What does a promise even mean?
Without you I am possessed again,
with only you to save me.
But what happens when you join them?
I know your soul is in much pain.
Tempted I am to let you go, so you can run away.
But I know that if you stay,
one day I'll see a smile upon your face.
To see those eyes light up truly?
Could keep me smiling forever.
But you say that you are hopeless.
You think I should give up.
Can't you see your own perfection?
Can't you see you lift me up?
If I give up on you I give up on me.
You're all I see, my everything,
despite if you didn't care for me.
Nothing you could say.
Nothing you could do.
Nothing will ever change my truth.
You're stronger than my demons.
You're stronger than yours too.
