I guarantee there will be times
Where their voices will carry you over a mountain

I guarantee there will be times
Where their backs will turn, silencing the cheers and shouting

I guarantee there will be moments
Where your goals seem within reach

I guarantee there will be moments
Where your progress will fall under siege

I guarantee there will be days
Where your dedication is rewarded

I guarantee there will be days
Where your effort is unsupported

I guarantee there will be nights
Where your dreams keep you awake

I guarantee there will be mornings
Where your fears will dominate

But I promise through it all
If you never quit your chase

I guarantee you'll reach your dream
Only you can keep the faith

You are clearly an angel in love with a beast
This room is becoming your life's grave
This is where a ****** will happen
I will **** the only body I want to save

I watched myself make a mess of life
I am scared of what comes next for us
My lungs cannot produce enough air
To apologize for causing this fuss

You are beautiful, outside and within
I wish I could take hurt from your heart
I host dreams of unfound happiness
A chance to someday restart

I am in the icy grip of pain
The devil dwells between our sheets
Heart beating faster, trying to believe
There will be no more miserable defeats

You will always wear an invisible hole
A blank space left carelessly by me
An assault in the form of betrayal
Won't you run from the monster I've become and flee?

I dread the day I cannot wake you up
Feeling helpless, I watch you softly die
I'm not capable of halting the harm, can't keep you safe
Or save you from death, I have no choice but to continue to try

I haven't seen myself in the mirror for a while,
I m scared of what I'll look like..
The dark circles around my eyes,
Knows all the secrets of my sleepless nights...
Nights I spend wondering...
Did I even matter to you?
Did I even matter to you?

Oh, how much I want to escape from you..
Maybe some morphine, that'll do
No, I won't think about you..
No, I don't want to think about you!!!!!
Cause I know while I m in bed thinking of you
You are also in bed about to get laid in just one, two...

For once, I wish this was untrue
For once, I wish you knew
This pain that I m going through
You left me saying that I deserved the world
But I just wanted to deserve you......
Don't call my love one-sided,
Cause I wouldn't have fallen for you,
If you hadn't made me believe
That you'd catch me when I do!!!
