Verse 1:

I know I'm bad
At being good
I know your sad
And that I should
Apologize
For everything that I said

You don't know
How far I ran
To get to you
I hope you can
Understand
For me not being who I am

Chorus:

I promise
To stay by your side
I promise
Cross my heart and hope to die
I promise
That I will never lie
I promise
To find a better light
I promise
To be more kind
So you don't leave me behind

Verse 2:

If I would die in your arms tonight
Would you turn and walk away
If you brought me back to life
Would you have stayed
I know that I've hurt you a million times
But would you still love me the same
Even after all of our fights
I'm the one to blame

Chorus:

I promise
To stay by your side
I promise
Cross my heart and hope to die
I promise
That I will never lie
I promise
To find a better light
I promise
To be more kind
So you don't leave me behind

Bridge:

I know
That we'll only ever be friends
I'll lend
You more of a hand
Please see
If you really can
Cause I promise
To never hurt you again

Chorus:

I promise
To stay by your side
I promise
Cross my heart and hope to die
I promise
That I will never lie
I promise
To find a better light
I promise
To be more kind
So you don't leave me behind
