Don't Promise Me

Please don't tell me it will be alright
That's not at all what I want to hear tonight
I just want you to kiss it all better right now
Make this pain I feel go away somehow

Don't promise you'll be there
When we both know you barely care
Don't promise me you'll love me
When we both know you'll only cause me misery

Just kiss it all better and make me forget
What I haven't forgotten just yet
Just hold me while I cry
You don't have to be my guy

So in the morning when we wake
Don't kiss me good bye for heavens sake
Just give me a warm hug as you go
And I'll try my best not to let the tears show

I know what is fun for you
Is hell for me, it is true
And if you were to fall in love
Blame not me, but the Gods above

If you were to see within me
A beauty born of my own misery
Fight the urge you'll have to touch
For then you'll inherit it only twice as much

And if you find a need to call
Days after you stood so tall
Listen to the words I have to say
I only needed you that one day

To make me forget my own problems, see?
There was only that between you and me
We were close at one point in time
But to try to fix it now would be a crime

We've grown so very far apart
And trying to fix our own hearts
Would only break them even more
Don't come back after going through the door

Because here forth I will be moving on
So don't promise me, for I know it is a con
Please just walk away from me now
For I know there is no way no know how

So give me hugs before you go
And my appreciation I will show
I swear I won't call again
To relive our night of sin

Parts of me will always allow myself to say
"I love him until the end of our days"
But we both know that is a lie
For you'll never be my guy
