I Promise You

I see the look upon your face
and the shining tears inside your eyes
my rock, my strength, my solid ground
now, somehow so broken inside

i wish that i could take your sorrows
i wish that i could take your pain
i know how much it hurts you
and i know you wish he could've stayed

but you hold your tears
and you hold your pain
all inside you hold your hurt
i know theres something you want to say
but somehow you can't find the words

i hear your breathing ragged
and it's tearing me apart
to see such pain
where there one was joy
it makes me sick at heart

its not supposed to be like this
its supposed to be me that cries
you take the joy
I'll take the hurt
and i promise you I'll survive

its not fair how life works out
or how it doesn't in some ways
just hold to my hand
like I'm the last in the world
and i promise you I'll stay
