I made a promise that I can't keep
"But the death of your father still haunts me in my sleep"
He made me say that I'd stay away from you so you'd be okay
And now this vision seems to be imprinted in the webs we weave that involve you and me
I'm trying so hard to stay as far as I can from you, even though it's breaking my heart
But
I promise to always protect you
And we will pull through, Like we always do
And I promise to always protect you
And we will pull through, Like we always do
You said that this is the final time
You can't do this anymore, yeah, you made up your mind
We'll just go our own ways, but if that means you'll stay safe I'll grit my teeth and I will walk away
But I see you on the streets with the rooftops beneath my feet
I hope you live your life, I'll try to deal with mine
But I can't let go, if it's you I'll follow
We can leave the city because I love you and that's all I know
And I promise to always protect you
And we will pull through, Like we always do
And I promise to always protect you
And we will pull through, Like we always do
No, why did you follow? Why didn't you leave?
Because you fell from the towers top and I could not believe all the gears and rubble surrounding you, falling hundreds of feet
And as you lay in my arms I begged you to please breathe
And now all I see every season, every god damn week is a gravestone that reads Gwendolyn Stacy
And I'm starting to think that you would've been happy if you never met me
You would've been free
And I promised to always protect you
But I let you fall to the bottom of the room
And I promised to always protect you
What did I do? What did I do?
And I promised to always protect you
But I let you fall to the bottom of the room
And I promised to always protect you
What did I do? What did I do?
And I promised to always protect you
But I let you fall to the bottom of the room
And I promised to always protect you
What did I do? What did I do?
