No Promise

What makes you say you love me and that you care?

How do I believe something that seems to always change?

Turning and twisting becoming something new each day

Falling and rising like the tide of a thousand years all at once

Promised nothing until it is right there before our eyes

Is this all mine or must I jump through loops to have it?

Love shouldn't be this way, making my head spin

Never knowing what's coming next like a hellish coaster ride

So the ghost of my past comes and takes my hand

Remembering back when everything I had like this fell to shit

Breaking in my hands I weep at the thought of the past

Having to relive it all, this is something that I don't want

For you make a promise and I hold you to it

Don't go and change something just because you feel like it

My special rose, my deepest thought, my only hope

If you turn your back and run I swear I won't cry

I will not return to the life that I have already put to rest

The end result is now me watching you perform a new trick

Will you stay or will you go, and by go I mean this

Pushing me so hard away that I will never want to come running back

Overcome all these things you have inside that hinder us

Mark my words, I made a promise, but if you break it

Everything we ever had will be tossed aside and will be turned to dust

Mourning for you won't even be a thought, not even a glance

Over and done, it is something that I must do

But I'm willing to hold out, I'm willing to give hope a chance

So the warning goes out to you, if you give bullshit I won't take it

All the talk and all the walk will be as if it never were

Staring into eyes that have seen the fire you will know

This was the biggest mistake you ever made

And you haven't even made it yet

Don't promise what you can't give or take what you don't need

My beauty I do promise you this

Mess this up and you don't just screw me, you screw yourself
