I Promise

Your eyes were tearing up
From a heart break you didn't deserve
What he did to you was horrible
and I promised I wouldn't say a word.

I had to tell someone
but I made a promise not to speak
I told you I was trustworthy
and it's a promise I will keep.

They will bend me, they will break me
To try to make me spill
I promised I wouldn't say anything
and it's a promise I have still.

I would never let you down
I would never salt your cuts
and what I'm about to tell you...
well you're going to think I'm nuts.

I had to let him know
that what he did was against the law
but right when I walked up to him
I realized my plan was flawed.

He was so much bigger than me
But I did was I had to do
and even though I'm gone
I promise I'll always look out for you.
