My Promise!

I tried finding words to state my promise to you. I wanted to pen it so that I would never lose it and it served as a reminder to you that you had a place in this world to belong and come to. Spent a long time drafting, deleting and adding things and feverently praying that you will never have to come to me(hard to believe but I never want you coming back to me!) and also censoring things enough so that no one got offended. Then I finally gave up and found a song to embody my promises :: Scott Stapp's "Only One".
I pray again that I won't have to keep a single word of my promise. 

I don't even know if it is worth anything but for whatever it is worth, here it is.

Scott Stapp's "Only One"



You can go, you can leave this town. 
Forget about the people and the places, 
and the faces that have let you down 
You can hide, you can change your name 
But the fear will always find you, 
if it’s coming from inside you, 
so you’ve gotta change 

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me 
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams 
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you 

Even when you feel so low like you might let go 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the last one giving up on you 

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one. 

If you leave, tell me where you'd go? 
Would you lock yourself inside a place, 
so no one had the chance to face you on your own 

Cuz when we fall down, we can stay down 
But the freedom that we wanna find, 
is only found when we’re off the ground. 

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me. 
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams 
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you. 

Even when you feel so low like you might let go 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the last one giving up on you. 

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one 

So if it’s the same to you, you could stay with me 
I could take you from your nightmares, and put you inside your dreams 
And you would see, I'm never gonna leave you. 

Even when you feel so low like you might let go 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the last one giving up on you. 

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one. 

Even when you feel your breath fading from your lungs 
I will be the first hand reaching out. 
I will be the first, last, first, last and only one
