i promised...
go on and tell me it'll be alright
but what happens when the surprise is on me?
put up walls they say
don't wear your heart on your sleeve
but how can i not?
i have followed you this far
and caught up with some help
you saw me and we shared a smile
but then as i fell you happened to glance away
i reach out my hand
and you take your first steps
but not towards me.
now as i fall i try and remember your face
i tried and falied
then in my mind you walk by
looking ahead, awkwardly smiling in that black dress
that smile...
oh how i wanted to be its cause
i thought i was for a while
and i'll fall
always hoping for you to peek over the edge
i see my hand reaching
grasping nothing but hope
but hope was what brought me to you
let it now guide me as i fall.
