Promise Me

It’s been some years
you taught me how to walk
to stand on my own feet
You said „Draw your picture“
and I did indeed, yes I did
I was the girl to tell some clever lines
to make everyone laugh
like a fool
I never wanted to be one of those
but I
was following the footsteps
I could find
Promise me
you’ll hold me close
though I
changed my path to were you didn’t see me
Open up
your frightened arms
and try
to understand my decision
See why I’m fighting
still believe in
the things you thought
would hold me back
Between
numbness and feelings
grieve seems healing
And though it hurts
I’ll get up again
Oh, through the dark and through the bitter times
we both went through it all
and now
I feel like I’m losing control
like I’m free falling
I was the girl to let my shyness reign
who sang to make them smile
Acting out
They knew I’d never let them down
because I
was following the footsteps
I could find
Promise me
you’ll hold me close
though I
changed my path to were you didn’t see me
Open up
your frightened arms
and try
to understand my decision
And see why I’m fighting
still believe in
the things you thought
would hold me back
Between
numbness and feelings
somehow grieve seems healing
Just cut me lose
Give me a chance
