Promise you'll never let me down from here
Your heart is sick, to me the price you pay
You say you love me, but actions aren't clear
Each hit from you, it makes me want to stay

A pedestal is what you put me on
The first smile from you is what held me
You say you cannot live if I am gone
It's sick that I do stay, when I can see

You mean the world to me, I just can't show
The bruises are a gift I can't control
If I relent, you'll run away-I know
You are afraid that I'm what makes you whole

I lost my first chance at love, I know this
I want to love you like the one you miss
