Promise?

This Song

Every time we talk, I'm looking at the clock,

wondering how much time, we have.

I'm scared to hear you cry,

as you walk out of my life,

but you say you'll stay in sight.

Please don't lie. 

Why do I worry?

Why am I so scared?

You say you are alright.

But I can't sleep at night.

Wondering if I'll lose you.

Wondering if you are gone.

I reach my hand out to grasp.

But all that's left behind is this song.

 I'm scared of you bleeding.

Can I take the blade away?

It hurts but let it hurt me.

If it takes your pain and makes it gone.

I know what your thinking.

Even if it's not heard out loud.

Tortured by this creul world.

Without a sound. 

Why do I worry?

Why am I so scared?

You say you are alright.

But I can't sleep at night.

Wondering if I'll lose you.

Wondering if you are gone.

I reach my hand out to grasp.

But all that's left behind is this song.

 It's so dark,

these paths they've let you run through.

No way to light a spark.

I try to pull you out myself but all I do is talk.

Please don't leave me now.

I'll jump for you instead.

Reach up for my hand.

 Why do I worry?

Why am I so scared?

You say you are alright.

But I can't sleep at night.

Wondering if I'll lose you.

Wondering if you are gone.

I reach my hand out to grasp.

But all that's left behind is this song.

 If you let them help too.

We'd reach together, pull through.

But as you shake your head.

I cry again. 

Why do I worry?

Why am I so scared?

You never wanted my help.

You'd rather fall into despair.

Wondering if I'll lose you.

Wondering if you are gone.

I reach my hand out to grasp.

But pulling me out to my surprise is you.
