Promises

I will promise to hold your hand 
when you make your final stand 
I will go down with you as far as you can go 
because i love you more than you will ever know 
you are my only promise in this forsaken place 
the one thing i will always love 
all i need to know is written on your face 
you are the shining light coming from above 
I love you more than poetic words can say 
so please, promise me you can stay 
sadly i know you can't, sadly i know you won't 
just don't die, i love you too much, so please don't 
promise me you will stay around 
all i can hear is this one, absorbing sound 
you're dying 
and I was lying 
when i said I would go with you 
that I would be with you wherever you go 
I guess I always knew 
that I would lose you tomorrow 
I promised to stay with you, but you're fading so fast 
only if time would reverse and we could disappear into the Past 
I love you more than this emptying life 
I wish so much that you could have been my wife 
but promises are broken 
and all i have is this broken heart as a reminding token 
that I can't go with you 
and that I will still love you
