Vows of the Heart

by Carlee Ann   Mar 24, 2006


I sat under the stars
And felt alone tonight.
I traced the sky with my mind
And wondered if I'm alright

You weren't sitting next to me
You didn't hold me close
But I never felt closer to you
And I just don't know

I don't know if this is wrong
And I hope to God it's not
Because in the end
Hope is all I've got.

I'm taking a chance
I'm giving one to you
Please, I'm begging
For once be true

Don't pretend
Please, just be who you are
Because if this all was a lie
If you got this far

And I didn't see through you,
God, I might not
And I don't want to get hurt
Or be the one who is forgot

So if like me for me
If you actually care
Hold me close and tell me
That you will always be there

Promise me you won't hurt
Promise you'll let me dream
That you won't hold me back
And that you are who you seem.

Give me a vow
That you won't forsake me
And if you mean it
Tonight just take me.

Hold me close and tell me
That we'll make it through
Look me in the eyes
And make me believe you.
