Promise

you're a lover, you're a fighter,
you know as much about scar tissue as anyone.
none of this is too much for you to take
and i've watched you pretend not to notice when it rains.

but don't drown, because i'd hate to see that smile fade,
i'd hate to see those diamond eyes blurred grey,
promise me you won't drown.

and if you ever need to collapse, you know where to find me.
i want to be the one you run to when you need to run away, find me.
i won't ask any questions, and you don't need to say anything,
i'll hold you when you need to let go
for reasons only you know.

don't drown, i'd hate to see that smile fade out,
i'd hate to see those diamond eyes lose their glow;
ships will find their way to the ocean floor,
we can find our way to shore.
promise me you won't drown.
