Tearless and Painfree
I can not promise my actions will never cause you pain
Or that I will always be there when your tears come down like rain
And I can not promise that all your dreams will come true
Or that my mistakes will hurt just me and not you
Because I will never make you a promise that I can not keep
No matter how much it tears me up inside
I know if I did you would never forgive me
I'd fall apart without you and so that's why…
I can promise that I will do my best
To be a friend when you're in need
To help you through life's every test
No matter the cost, though I must bleed.
I dare not promise to be there in your darkest hour
To be your beacon of light before the shadows devour
Nor can I swear to be there when you need me most
When life's trials give you cause to lose all hope.
Because I will never make you a promise that I can not keep
No matter how much it tears me up inside
I know if I did you would never forgive me
I'd fall apart without you in my life
But through your pain and sorrowful memories
The heartache of loved one's going brings
I can promise that I will do my best
To be a friend when you're in need
To help you through life's every test
No matter the cost, though I must bleed
Because I would pay the ultimate price
I would take your place, I would sacrifice
My life for yours so that you could be
Even for a moment, tearless and pain free.
Though death may take me we will never be apart
Because I carry you always in my heart
And I can say with utmost certainty
That this promise I make to you will always be
I will never break this vow I now make
To be your friend, make no mistake
Forever, even unto the ends of the Earth
Through all life's hardships and its rebirths.
I promise that I will do my best
To be a friend when you're in need
To help you through life's every test
No matter the cost, though I must bleed
Because I will pay the ultimate price
I will take your place, I will sacrifice
My life for yours so that you can be
Forevermore, tearless and pain free
Because I will never make you a promise that I can not keep
No matter how much it tears me up inside
I know if I did you would never forgive me
I'd fall apart without you and so that's why…
I can say with utmost certainty
This promise I make will last through eternity
Forever, even unto the ends of the Earth
Through all life's heartache and its rebirth.
