Promise - officially the best thing I've ever written
Every time I tried to sew the seams
It always came out looking worse
I thought I’d found the girl of my dreams
But I wasn’t the boy in hers
I went through that summer drowning in grief
Over me depression had ruled
She stole it away like a professional thief
Help lead me to the edge of the pool
Now I’m over the darkness, I’m over the pain
The pity that plagues me no more
I’ve been brought in and protected from the cold hard rain
I’m no longer so lost and alone
I found love where I’d lost, happiness where I fell
Given a chance to take my life and re-mend
Encouraged to emerge from an encrusted dead shell
In her I found a lover and friend
CH: Falling apart is not always so bad
Not pitted with mayhem and strife
Especially with the promise of such a close friend
Beside you the rest of your life
I should’ve done this, I should’ve said that
Superfluous regrets of the past
You can do better with a best friend at your side
Step forward and embrace the chance
Sixteen months and too many reprieves
Spells for anyone an ultimate end
But when one door is slammed by a whispering breeze
Another one opens again
Memories are not to be crushed underfoot
But cherished and held in your thoughts
The rest of a life can go back up in soot
But fond recollections cannot
I’ll never forget the moments I spent
The happiest times of my life
Given the opportunity to go back and correct
There was nothing that wasn’t just right
I can’t help but wonder what things could’ve changed
If different decisions were made
But none are as bright as the current engaged
To see all the friendship I’ve made
CH: Falling apart is not always so bad
Not pitted with mayhem and strife
Especially with the promise of such a close friend
Beside you the rest of your life
I should’ve done this, I should’ve said that
Superfluous regrets of the past
You can do better with a best friend at your side
Step forward and embrace the chance
When it’s all over, it’s nice to look back
To see all the good times, and bad times, and slack
And then to look forward with nothing to fear
Because I know, Megan, you’ll always be here
CH: Falling apart is not always so bad
Not pitted with mayhem and strife
Especially with the promise of such a close friend
Beside you the rest of your life
I should’ve done this, I should’ve said that
Superfluous regrets of the past
You can do better with a best friend at your side
Step forward and embrace the chance
I can do better with my best friend at my side
Who has given me the chance
