promises

He wishes he could go back and keep secrets
Well I wish I could go back and keep promises
If I could just remember all of them
Not let them get buried and forgotten
How many times have I said I'm sorry and promised to change
Only to forget and make the same mistake
How many nights have I lain awake
Overcome by sorrow and shame
It happens far more than it should
I let you down and you pull me back up
I'm waiting for forgiveness to run out
I'm waiting for the day I lose everything
There is one promise I can remember
To love and support you now and forever
I set out to make you happier than before
To make sure your heart did not bruise any further
I wanted to hold you and keep you safe from all harm
Soothe your wounds and be your balm
But despite my best intentions
I've failed to protect you from myself
It happens far more than it should
I let you down and you pull me back up
I'm waiting for forgiveness to run out
I'm waiting for the day I lose everything
And now I think it's too late
I missed my chance
I can't make amends
Until you're able to hear me again
So I shut down
Picture deserts and waterfalls
The arctic circle out our window
It happens far more than it should
I let you down and you pull me back up
I'm waiting for forgiveness to run out
I'm waiting for the day I lose everything

temptation

You kissed me again last night
It was beautiful
But too brief
I felt your heat pass through me
Before sinking to my knees
And there I sat in wonder
You did not apologize
You walked away from me
To provoke another's sighs
This morning when I woke up
I knew the kiss had been a dream
But then your voice was in my ear
Saying you missed me, wanted me
But I won't be your temptress
I won't be your Eve tonight
You can hold me to my word
There is no apple in my sight
I won't make you fall in love with me
Or take your woman's place
I am just a friend
Until your faith in her fades
You kept your promise and your hands to yourself
I was disappointed but relieved
I could not have lived with myself
Had you left her for me
Having been through this before
I know the players and the score
Your heart cannot be true
Unless you leave her for you
So I won't be your temptress
I won't be your Eve tonight
You can hold me to my word
There is no apple in my sight
I won't make you fall in love with me
Or take your woman's place
I am just a friend
Until your faith in her fades
And maybe someday
I will take your hands in mind
And hold you closer
Than you've ever been held in your life
We will breathe in harmony
And our hearts will beat with hummingbird wings
I won't be your temptress
I won't make you fall in love with me
I am just a friend
I am just a friend
I am just your friend
Until your faith in her fades

a proper love song

I didn't buy you a card because I wanted to write you a song
Instead of something mass-produced give you something raw
I wanted to create for you like you have created for me
You heard the disclaimer yet you got on the ride
Held tight through each careening curve
Every time my stomach dropped you leveled me out
You couldn't bear to see me struggle
You've held me while I cried, forgiven me time after time
I don't know what I would do
Without all the light that you bring to my life
I would be lost if I lost you
First one for the last one
I wanted you to know
It doesn't matter where the rest came from
Yours are the only proper love songs
When you put your arms around me, I don't want to move
I try to freeze the moment, sheltered by your love
I know it drives you crazy to stay still for so long
But it's my greatest comfort to be frozen in your warmth
First one for the last one
I wanted you to know
It doesn't matter where the rest came from
Yours are the only proper love songs
Without you to anchor me
I would drift aimlessly
Hoping to stumble upon my one true home
I'm still a wanderer
But now I have a home wandering with you
You're the one who knows
Who I am underneath
And still you want me
Despite what you've seen
But you know how to see the best in me
And every day I'm thankful that we crossed the line
You trusted your heart to me
