I just wanted to say
About that promise
I meant it
I promise I won't let you down
I promise I won't scare you
I promise I won't leave you
I just wanted to clarify
About today
I'm scared too
I'm scared of myself
I'm scared of what I can do
But I know I won't let you down
My heart is true
My heart is still beating
My heart is for you
And I want to keep you safe and sound
Yet everything I say comes out wrong
Yet everything I tell myself I forget
Yet everything seems to fall apart at times
I want to let you know
I'm okay now
I promise
Today is the last day
It will be the final day
And from here on out
It's my job to protect you from what I truly am
Under this anxiety
I may be a monster
I may be heartless
I may be me
But I promise my love for you
Isn't rooted in anxiety
I promise I'll live on
I promise
