Pancho's Lament - Promise Me This lyrics

lord i'm trying trying to let you in

but the mirror stares me like a stranger

i'm learning how to begin again

promise me this

you will never understand me

promise me this

you will always always

hold me like you hold me now

hold me like you're holding me now

promise me this

i thought of you when my faith began to wander

it woke me up in the middle of the night

i've so many places i can run to

let's not run away this time

promise me this
