No More Promises

Stop making me promises;

You used to be a keeper.

Stop making me promises,

All you’re keeping are excuses.

You kissed me,

That’s how they used to seal the deal.

You kissed me,

A possible future bloomed before us.

Time has been given

To our two hearts.

Time has been spent,

Complications and cracks are the only result.

Stop the promises,

I know you mean well.

Stop the promises,

Because I can’t wait for them to be held.

What it Wants

You’re not mine,

I can’t state a claim.

If someone wants you

I’ll have to sit on the sidelines.

Chorus:

Here’s the truth of the tale,

The heart wants what it wants,

Emotions and attractions

Open my eyes.

I like it when you come to me,

Your touch makes me feel alive—

You send an electric current

And I give in.

Chorus

I won’t make you choose

It’s not right to say it’s me or the other,

I just ask that there’s honesty,

Embrace what you’re given.

Chorus

Take what you want,

I’ll keep your secrets.
