you promised me the world hand in hand,
dream in dream, lifetime in lifetime,
you promised me that no matter what the outcome,
i'd always be able to stare at you and smile.
and perhaps that's still the case.
but here i stand, sitting on my hands
the most beautiful contradiction i've never
wanted to walk away from.
i just want to see my name handwritten
all over the confines of your oh-so-broken heart
because i know that in the end,
my name looks better there anyway.
yet here i stand, sitting on my hands
praying that you'll come back and never leave
even though you never walked away.
