My Promise To You..

Why do I make these promises,
The ones that I can't keep?
Is it because I don't want to hurt others?
Or because I don't want them to weep?

I tell them not to worry,
And that I'll be fine on my own.
But inside, really I'm not,
All I ever really wanted was a place to call home..

I tell them to take care,
I want them to be ok,
But I hate it when I lie to them,
Each and everyday....

I say nothings wrong,
But inside I'm screaming out..
Begging for them to listen,
Listen to how I really felt...

I tell them what they want to hear,
I tell them I would try,
I really wish I could just open up
But that's like asking me to fly...

But there is a promise I can keep,
That is to never give up,
I'll keep on living even though
My life has to be so tough....
