My Oath

If I Am, Nine Days

So you're standing on a ledge,
It looks like you might fall
So far down
Or maybe you were thinking about jumping

Now you could have it all
If you learned a little patience
For though I cannot fly,
I'm not content to crawl
So give me a little credit
Have in me a little faith
I want to be with you forever
If tomorrow's not too late...

But it's always too late when you've got nothing
So you say...
But you should never let the sun set on tomorrow
Before the sun rises today

If I am
Another waste of everything you dreamed of
I will let you down...
If I am
Only here to watch you as you suffer
I will let you down...

So you're walking on the edge
You wait your turn to fall
But you're so far gone
You don't see the hands upheld to catch you...
And you could find the fault
In the heart that you've been handed
For though you cannot fly
You're not content to crawl

So youre standing on a ledge
It looks like you might fall...
The answers that we find
Are never what we had in mind
So we make it up as we go along...
You don't talk of dreams
I won't mention tomorrow
And we won't make promises that we can't keep...

I will never leave you
I will not let you down...
I will never leave you
I will not let you down.
