Pledge

Take a seat

Mine was next to you

I was the awkward one

And you were beautiful, through and through

And all you wanted was one friend to call your own

And all I wanted was one friend to call my own

The more we talked

The more that I listened

And the more that you gave

The more you found that you were missing

And all I wanted was one heart to call my own

And all you wanted was one second alone

And we raised our hands

Like we’d understand

If we put our palms to our chest

Just like they taught you

In grammar school

We pledged

And you would kill for one second alone

And you would kill for one second alone

With your hand in mine

It just wasn’t right

With your head on my chest

And though it wasn’t me

I still believed

And I pledged

With your hand in mine

It was never right

My heart ripped out my chest

And though it wasn’t me

And it will never be

I will pledge

And you would kill for one second alone

You would kill

You would kill

You would kill for one second alone
