promised to myself

speak a little louder
over my voice
over all the screams into the night
please do not question
of this progress
just know that i love you

and do not wonder
what happened
please just hold me
and tell me that i'll be okay

give me some courage
before i fall
save my life
before i go

and take me back
to my start
to our beginning
to where my life was great
and not ending

oh take me back
and tell me that
the world will see me
for who i am
and tell me that this is the beginning

i once believed in
the power of prayer
but with all my heart
i cannot be heard

oh lord please help me
show me i'm winning
and not losing this fight
over again

i cannot face them
the questions and demons
that steal my hope into the dark

i cannot tell you
about my decisions
without fear of losing my heart


and take me back
to my start
to our beginning
to where my life was great
and not ending

oh take me back
and tell me that
the world will see me
for who i am
and tell me that this is the beginning

promise me,

promise me,

oh, somebody promise me

promise me,

promise me,

that you'll try to save me

because i can't

promise myself

just take me back
to my start
to our beginning
to where my life was great
and not ending

oh take me back
and tell me that
the world will see me
for who i am

and that i'll survive
and live
and live
and live
like the world
has never seen me live before
and live
and live
and live

oh just promise me
that we'll go back
and promise that this is just my beginning
