I give you this chance

I fear the beat of my heart
not knowing where it's pulling me
it's ripping me apart
only you have the key

only you have the chance
to stay with me forever
I asked you if you'd leave me
you said, "no, not ever".

this place beside me
is reserved for only you
no one will ever take it
it was you that helped me through

I'll follow you blindly
with eyes wide shut
take me by the hand
and lead me from my rut

deliver me from what i hate
from what I am
from what I will become
or I will be damned

calm my rapid heart beat
slow my swift breathing
steady my shaking fingers
stop my terrible teething

and in return
I'll do the same for you
to stay by your side
and to stay true
