I CAN'T PROMISE THAT,
I'LL NEVER BREAK YOUR HEART;
I'LL TELL YOU THAT,
FROM THE START.
BECAUSE YOU SEE,
NEVER - IS LIKE FOREVER;
AND WE'RE NOT EVEN PROMISED TODAY,
LET ALONE TOMORROW.
SO HOW CAN I PROMISE YOU,
WHAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE?
I CAN TELL YOU,
THAT WHAT I FEEL;
IS REAL.
AND I CAN TELL YOU,
THAT SOMETIMES;
I'LL MAKE YOU SAD -
AND EVEN MAD.
AND IT WON'T MATTER,
IF I WANT TO;
OR NOT.
I'M NOT PERFECT,
I'M JUST ME.
I CAN'T TELL YOU,
THAT I'LL NEVER
MAKE YOU CRY;
FOR WHATEVER REASON WHY.
BUT I CAN TELL YOU,
THAT I WILL LOVE YOU;
AND I WILL TRY,
AND I HOPE THAT YOU
CAN DO THE SAME;
FOR ME, TOO!
