Future Perfect (A Promise)

If this wasn’t for you, then would you do that for me?

If this wasn’t as good, then would you grab me a piece?

If you don’t care for the truth, then keep lying

Seems like you’re well on your way

If anything brought me closer I’ll push you away

Trying to score these days

Bet that is not quite me

Nothing new but that’s ok

To win would surprise me

Looked up upon by you

Come scratch the surface please

I’m buried underneath

Perfectly (so don’t remind me)

Who said I could do this by myself?

Well I’m begging you for help

You’re giving me hell

Come catch my final breath

The best I’ve ever had (but don’t remind me)

I’m setting fire to the drapes

Forever catch a fade

A perfect future flourished too late

Come kill the flame

The heat burns my face

I’ll see who you’ll be

There’s no you, there’s no me

We’re all dead

I’ll try to make myself believe

You deserve to see only the better of me

I choose to keep my future clean

And polished for you
