Now, Forever, And Always

I can't promise I'll always be by your side
To give you a hug
But I will always be on the other side of a phone

I can't promise everything will be alright
Because sometimes I just don't know
But I will always do my best to make everything OK

I can't promise I can stop your tears
When they're falling so hard you could drown in them
But I can cry with you

I can't promise I can catch you
When you're falling so fast you're just a blur
But I can fall with you, and hold your hand when we crash

I can't promise I can help you out of your hole
Because the truth is I'm right down there with you
But I can try and ease your pain

I can't promise I can stop the voices
Because I can't even control them myself
But I can understand

I can't promise I can make you better
When you feel like you're not strong enough to go on
But I can be strong for you

I can't promise to give you a reason to live
When you feel like you can't take anymore
But if you let me, I can hold you as you slip into an eternal sleep

And I can't promise That things will be OK soon
But I can promise that I Love You

Now,
Forever,
And Always.
