i never promised you a ray of light
i never promised there'd be sunshine everyday. . .


i cannot promise to never hurt you. . .
i just might
this ride's not going to be a smooth one
please hold tight

i wanna promise you forever
but i can't
i don't even think for a moment
that's what you would want

you'd want the truth
i bet
no matter how hard it is i'm sure
that's what you wanna get

so i won't give you the usual lines
i'll tell you instead that. . .

i'm not a saint, i sin like everyone else
i'm not perfect, i'm not ideal
i get scared too, i break down too
i might lie, i might make you cry

i can't assure you of anything
other than that i'll give you all i've got
the good, the bad, no secrets, no false hopes
all that i am, all i could give

i want you to come into this with both eyes wide open
so this is me, with all my cards on the table. . .
your move
