Can you hold your own while I'm gone? I swear I won't be gone for long Could it be some things never change I think it's just been one of those days Too tired to work out what's in front of us Settle down, forget that stuff Take a breather, believe in me You can't live your whole life in one evening Promise me while I'm away That you'll find yourself I found out right from the start That I was falling apart You were there when I hit the floor After all, what are best friends for? Wherever I was you know you were there too Stopping me from what I shouldn't do Always saw the good in me And the potential of what I could be I promised you while you were gone That I would find myself I don't know when you'll come my way Another time, another place Can you hold your own while you are gone? Have you been there all along? Promise me while I'm away
