Promiser

One, two, three

I have read every book that there is to read
About love and how difficult it can be to keep
I've pulled my heart out to every song
Learned the words and sang along
Memorised the affirmations and each meaningful dedication
Turned my back on each distraction
Learned the difference between affection and lust
Prepared myself the best I can to understand

To know when quiet time is good
When to make coffee, learn to cook
I started liftin' heavy things so that I can protect you
But to know when I should and when it is, I do not have to
When to be vulnerable and let you in
I've been to therapy and I think I'm makin' some inroads there
I do believe that I can follow through and not just be a promiser

I've organised all of my days, responsibility's new to me
You'll be glad to hear I take to change pretty naturally
I work hard, and I would be so proud of you
I have the capacity to open up my little world
I do not stay out late during the week
And I am keen to never treat you like you're weak
And I have morals that are strong, but sayin' that they're malleable

I'll know when quiet time is good
When to make coffee, learn to cook
I started liftin' heavy things so that I can protect you
But to know when I should and when it is, I do not have to
When to be vulnerable and let you in
I've been to therapy and I think I'm makin' some inroads there
I do believe that I can follow through and not just be a promiser

A promiser
