please believe (january 18, 2010)

you think i’m the one who walked away

you don’t have anything left to say

to me

and i, i tried so hard not to sleep

you were miles away under the same sheets

please believe i didn’t break my promises

please believe that i have kept my promises

i only went because you were gone

and even though it has been so long

i promised you and i did

i promised you and i did

i promised you and i did

i stayed by your side till i knew

i’d forever lost you

though i was singing without a voice

i loved you and it was not my choice

to leave

and i, i gave all the love i could

and i vowed to you that i always would

please believe i didn’t break my promises

please believe that i have kept my promises

i’ve missed you each day since you’ve been gone

and even though it has been so long

i promised you and i do

i promised you and i do

i promised you and i do

i have never stopped loving you

and i don’t want to
