Promises Kept

This is my promise to write to you, so for you my every word,

Is the sinking feeling here in my chest.

I am so far from home but the further away we are, the closer I am.

The closer I feel, the farther you get.

My hands hold on tight to your every word.

I won't let go, but I feel my eyes advert from who I used to be.

The winds they will sweep us all away.

Wrap me in your silver lining.

Torn between the roots of earth and the sky,

I left my heart behind, and I'm so far from home.

The weight is pulling me down.

In your circles I am spinning.

In your circles I'll wait forever.

Lost control, my hands grip the wheel,

But i can't see where the road is leading.

Please hold on dear, I know you're worried,

Counting down the days till you remember.

Torn between the roots of earth and the sky,

I left my heart behind, and I'm so far from home.
