i swear to you

i crawled out from under my skin today.

i stared at myself as i floated away,

and i watched everything change.

i witnessed everything fall away.

that's not an unusual story for me these days.

 

-because i never thought i could love you this much.

and when i think about you, i realize i do it way too much.

i remember when this all started, i knew how i felt, but i didn't know how this would grow.

i swear to you darling, i didn't know.

 

i lose a part of myself every time you look away.

and when you glance at me softly, i take it so hard.

i used to be strong, now i'm falling apart.

now i'm just this sad girl, writing songs so air out my heart.

 

because i never thought i could love you this much.

and when i try to cling to the light something pushes me back in the dark.

i remember when this all started, i knew how i felt, but i never would let it show.

i swear to you darling, i'll never let anyone know.

 

because seasons keep changing but i feel the same.

i'm losing parts of myself, but this here, it remains.

all i want is for you to say it, recipricate it. bury me in something other regrets and mistakes that i've made.

 

because i never thought i could love you this much.

and i know i've become pathetic when i imagine the feel of your touch.

i forget how this started, but i remember the hope that i felt, i put on the perfect show.

i swear to you darling, i'll never let this go.

and i swear to you darling....

and i swear to you darling....

if i'm left broken hearted, it'll hurt but i know, these feelings i've caught, i can't just throw.

forget the regrets, love what you know. i didn't think that i'd crave you, every time that you go.

i swear to you darling, i didn't know.

i didn't know.
