I have made a commitment to you and to myself
I have made a promise to put you ahead of all that I do
That you will be foremost in my thoughts and actions
That your comfort, happiness and life will be my top priority
Most times you are more important than myself
I don't know if that is the smartest thing to do
All I know is that you are now my world

Then why am I in so much pain
Why do I find myself sitting here alone
Why do I think of you and what you are doing
And why do I feel that I am last in your thoughts

The tears don't know when to stop
They don't know that it's not what I want to do
My eyes don't know that the tears are not helping
They don't know that I see them now as a weakness
Because you don't care for them no more
You don't wipe them away
You don't try to easy the ache so that they may stop
You just see them as another ploy to get your attention

I have never been so insecure
Everything I used to do I never once doubted
Everything you used to do I trusted
They were all for me
For us
Now I feel like the world is trying to swallow me whole
I no longer know what I should do next

I don't see myself living this life without you
I'm not complete without you
For better or worse
I am here
You are the constant in my life
If ever you leave I will undoubtedly be lost
