Just Don't Let Me Fall

I've given my heart up; you've seen my real self -
Just don't hide me away, with the rest, on your shelf.
You've broken down my walls and beat through my outside;
Now I wonder to myself if it's useless to hide.

You can look through my eyes to my world, unseen -
A place where life was once too cruel and mean.
Pushed around, with not a place to call my own,
I lived my life in fear and almost always alone.

But somehow you saw past that, you saw the real me -
The girl behind the mask and behind the memories.
You took a liking to what she was destined to become,
You knew all she needed was a little love and some fun.

When you took her by the hand, her facade melted away -
Never was she the same after that fateful day.
The girl of the past became the person you see now,
I'm the one who made you that solemn vow.

I promised to love you and hold onto you tight -
To say I'm sorry after every fight.
To understand that we may not always be together,
But distance always makes the relationship better.

When you broke me out, I took a breath of fresh air,
Finally realizing that someone out there did care.
No more worrying about things that just didn't matter
I don't feel as if my heart's going to shatter.

But I do have one question and it's really quite small,
Can you promise me one thing: Just Don't Let Me Fall.
