Promise me disappointment so I can stop holding out for glory.

You're holding me hostage, 

though I'm the one with demands

I can't pull myself away from you, 

your lavender scented restraints 

Invisible?    

only because you don't see them  

I can't live without what you have

who you are

You're holding me back, I say

only because I'm the one that stays 

^{The only thing I'll ever ask of you?   You've got to promise not to stop when I say}
