Could I promise you forever if you don't even want to be here
Do you not think I can see, my dear
And I try to be gentle and I try to be kind 
But, darling, sometimes you are out of your mind 
And you swing for the fences out of anger and brutality 
And I wouldn't survive that mentality 
But I would be there to catch your tears 
I would stand by your side for years 
But I won't stand for being broken and bruised
I won't stand for being nationalistically used
By a man who wants to be something real 
But can't bear the way he feels 
When the weather starts to rain 
Though I tell him again and again 
The only way out is through 
And both I and the Spirit will be with you 
In the moment of Now 
You are not broken and somehow 
I think you know 
I am not letting go 
Not in four hundred million centuries 
Or for forays
I could have into the unknown 
And we may have grown 
But have we stayed the same 
You did say that you've changed 
And who am I to call out the lie
There's a part of you that does not die
And it's the part I loved way back when 
It's what I love now and what I will love again 
So how can you say you're a different hue
What did you think I saw in you 
I backed away from your rage
You unleash it again and I turn the page
And you think that it's you that says goodbye 
But it's I that will not let you try
