I'm so sick of promises
but they keep slipping out
I'm so sick of talking
about nothing and everything
that never mattered
but i just cant shut my mouth
and you hear my words
and play them back to me
but in reverse
they sound so perverse
to hear me tell you and sell you
on everything i wish was true
and you see right through
i promise that was the last
word to pass through these lips
and that was another promise
i know ill never keep
like the one to never do this
like the one to think first
but i never want to get up
i just want it to last forever
i want you to remember
and i want you to smile
when you hear my name
and i try to tell you
i want you to be happy
but you wont let me
until I'm happy too
and the fake smile it always works
you see right through when
no one ever does
and i wish you weren't so far away
but i cant stand being so close
to everything i waited for
the thing i wanted most
was it all a dream
as the light comes in
my eyes open up
and you're still here
and i don't believe my eyes
you had a chance to leave
but you stayed by me
and you say you wanted to see me smile
you stayed, and i woke with
the biggest smile you'll ever see
and there were no words,
and you are still everything
i hoped you would be
and i just want to see you smile
and i want to see that sparkle
in your eyes when you see me
and i want to know
the last thing i say to you
is everything all rolled into one
is all my dreams and everything you are
see you soon.
