When I told you everything would be okay
How could I have meant anything but now
How could I ever promise you always

The storm in your eyes told me you’d never change
Your tears falling down like rain
Your words striking like lightning

This is who we are
How do you do
Those things to hurt me through yourself
Telling your heart things that aren’t true

This is who we are
It cannot be
I saw the future from our past
I swear we both looked so happy

I ran up to your house those years ago
But now walking seems to fast
Although backwards is way too slow

I whispered once I whispered in your ear
I wish we could have that back right now
The screams have brought us both to tears

When what you want’s become most everything
Except for me you see each day but don’t feel a thing
And all of this has come back to point at you
You realize that all your life you’ve been untrue

But you point the finger and you cast the blame
On anyone but yourself because you’re still the same
Looking for an answer you’ll find some things change
As you look outside your window see I never came

This is who we are
This is why we cry together
This is where we’ll be forever
Alone in each other’s arms

I made a mistake a long long time ago
Now God’s shown me many things
I’ve learned and wanted you to know

That when I told you everything would be okay
How could I have meant anything but now
How could I ever promise you always
