Standing late at night,
Your arms wrapped tight around me
It all stopped falling

It was in that moment
In the middle of the street
Late at night,
When my world was falling
Apart that you put
Your arms around me,
And for a second I thought
That maybe everything
Would be okay.

As the butterfly fades
So does my promise.

I used to spend my nights
Talking to you.
Now I spend them alone
Listening to sad music
Reading sad poetry.
Blood dripping down my hands,
Thinking about all the things
I would give to be in
Your arms.

Mirror mirror on the wall
How much longer must I fall?
When will the night fade to day
When will the sadness go away?
When will my house feel like home again
When will all the secrets end?
When will I find someone to love me
When will this life stop being lonely?
I don't know how much more I can take.
My mind's a levee that's starting to break.

Sometimes I get lost.
I want someone to
Help remind me
Of who I really am

I'm not always this
Messed up.
I promise.
I'm not always this
Insecure.
I promise.
I'm not always this
Hard to love.
I promise.
But I will always be there
For you.
I promise.
