Promise that you love me.

Promise you will be there.

Promise that we will touch,

All these promises in your stare.

Say that you need me.

Say that you can't deny.

Say that you will never leave,

Saying these lullabies.

I know you will be gone soon,

I know that it was a lie.

I know that I should have told you,

I know that we should have tried.

I promise I love you still, no matter what I say.

I promise that I will wait for the far off day.

I know you are with her now, as I promise these lines.

I know I will always be there, despite all our crimes....

Our words are empty as they have always been.

I should turn away as you reach for my chin.

These feelings I do not want... yet somehow I do.

Baby, I'm tired of lying to myself. I still love you.
