The Promise

Say what you need to say
You've got my open ears
You've got my trusting heart that I've just stitched up
Say what needs to be said
Keep in mind the day I bled all alone in your bed
That I had stitched up

I inhale your exhale
You've no trouble sleeping
I'll quiet my weeping not to wake you up
I inhale your exhale
Pray these stitches hold
You promised they would hold
You promised they would hold

See who you want to see
Make love to who you will
I'll deadbolt the trusting heart that won't stay stitched up
If I should stand my ground, you'll want what I won't give
Your hands will move like they once did to take me in

I inhale your exhale
You've no trouble sleeping
I'll quiet my weeping not to wake you up
I inhale your exhale
Pray these stitches hold
You promised they would hold
You promised they would hold

Say what you need to say
You've got my everything
You've got my only heart
I've just stitched up
