It’s true what they say
The heart grows fonder in absence
‘Cause when you’re away
I think of you in my subconscious
Nobody knows
Not even our closest of friends
It’s just a secret between you and I
And I like it like that
But if I were a promise
Would you keep me
If I couldn't love you
Would you still love me
And if I had every bit of me stripped away
Would you love me the same
Day after day I’m careful
And I’m cautious
But you said you’ll stay here
Even when odds are against us
Look at the stars
Then focus your eyes onto mine
What’s in your heart
I don’t wanna love you just to be left behind
So if I were a promise
Would you keep me
If I couldn't love you
Would you still love me
And if I had every bit of me stripped away
Would you love me the same
Maybe it’s real and maybe it’s not
Would you give in
And would I give up
If time only tells I wish her voice
Was so much clearer now
I’m only scared of what I don’t know
Is this better than being alone
So many questions
Waiting for their answers to be found
If I were a promise
Would you keep me
If I couldn't love you
Would you still love me
And if I had every bit of me stripped away
Would you love me the same
