You promise me always
You promise me forever
You promise me you'll be there
and we'll always be together.

What if always isn't enough
What if forever is cut short
What if you're suddenly gone
and I'm left alone or something of the sort?

I don't want to be left shattered
I don't want to be left broken
I don't want to be left alone
and have things left unspoken.
