I want you to need me
But keep your distance
By my side
With no commitments
Could that be a promise
But break it
So we don't get too close
To honest
Hold me together
Then break my heart
Perfectly in sync
But far apart
Could that be a promise
But break it
So it stays
Harmless
Keep all of the memories
But never mention
The screaming silence
Between a sentence
Could that be the truth
But burn it
To leave no trace
Of proof
