Paranoia and promises

A glass shatters against the kitchen wall

You yell at me for nothing at all

I freeze in place,

afraid to speak

My knees are trembling,

suddenly weak

Then you're on your knees,

holding my waist

Tears on your cheeks,

making promises in haste

"I'm sorry, baby, I lost control

You're the only peace in my broken soul"

Paranoia in the silence after the storm

Promises to keep me safe and warm You say you love me

deeper than the sea

So why am I apologizing when you hurt me?

You buy me flowers to cover up the stain

A golden band to wash away the pain

Whispering "I love you"

like a threat

Giving me memories I'm forced to forget

Paranoia in the silence after the storm

Promises to keep me safe and warm

You say you love me deeper than the sea So why am

I apologizing when you

hurt me?

I'm holding the flowers

Counting down the hours

Paranoia and promises
