I made a promise to myself
to never love again
to never open up my heart
and let love drive me insane

Suddenly you were there
and you promised to be true
I gave myself up
when I gave into you

When you said forever
I let my guard down
foolishly believed you
when you said you'd stick around

It didn't take long
before you went away
and left me there in panic
begging you to stay

How many people can you love
before you lose your mind
and your heart turns to ice
leaving all your hope behind

I'll make a promise to myself
to never love again
to never open up my heart
and let love drive me insane



Please keep that promise this time.

I love you.

Your lips, your hips.

Your fears, your tears.

Your arms, your charms.

Your dreams, your schemes.

Your hair, your flair.


Your joys, your ploys.

Your nose, your clothes.

Your smile, your style.

Your hands, your plans.

Your chin, your grin.

Your toes, your lows.

Your soul, and all of you whole.

I know it's hard to touch the clouds
when memories
hold you down
I know you cry a lot inside
when no one is
around
I know it is hard to wake up
sometimes
when breathing cuts so deep.

and the birds, they sing
but
you cannot hear
and the sun, it shines
but
you cannot see
and there's a lot of warmth around
but
you cannot feel.

I know it feels so hard
to live
with so many scars

but

light will shine and you will
see
and birds will sing and
you will hear

It's just a dark path
you have to walk
and I will be there
to walk along
don't hold your breath
don't give up yet
just
keep your hope
and you'll find one day
that you can fly again
for you deserve
the highest clouds
the purest air
the deepest love.

and I'll be here for you,
you, dear soul,
the sweetest lyric
of them all.
