I Promise

You told me long ago

I was perfect for the role

I was fated

To be playing for you

I'm drowning on your throne

Bear it alone

I know I'm fading

I keep waiting

Drop by drop

A guilty masquerade

Parading 'cross the stage

The people miss it as I break so slowly

I need no rest

I'll do my best

For them

Life goes on

They may not understand

But now I think I do

We cheated the heavens

Just to see their hopes through

I promise you that I'll be happy

If not right now, another day

We'll have our dream

You had to go, it's okay

Leave all that pain

Fly away

Let's see what's left of me

I'll live the life we'd always wanted

The curtain's down

The stage is dark

It's time to breathe

You had to go, it's okay

No more performing for fate

Let's see what's left of me

Learning from people's love

Seeing what you and I could not

How they smile, cry

Live and die

Day by day

Some of their Spirit's gone

Swept away 'long with their loved ones

In a vengeful tide

I could only watch

Sinner's finale's through

I'm not alone with you

The world's a stage but I can

Change my story

I think I did enough

Now I can give it up

Life goes on

They may not understand

But now I think I do

We cheated the heavens

Just to see their hopes through

I promise you that I'll be happy

If not right now, another day

We'll have our dream

You had to go it's okay

Leave all that pain

Fly away

Let's see what's left of me

I'll live the live we'd always wanted

The curtain's down

The stage is dark

It's time to breathe

You had to go it's okay

No more performing for fate

Let's see what's left of me

What's left of me
