The Promise and the Threat

They won't want you for who you are

So you should step outside your skin

Something tells me, that we were meant to be

But how can that be, you run on evil, I run on fumes and stale airWhen she came out, she brought her anger

She left her sympathy behind the walls she built for me

So we start spinningYou wouldn't want to let us go easy

Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning

You wouldn't want to let him down easy

Or he just might become the promiseWell, I want you for who you are

So you can stay inside your skin

Oh, something tells me love isn't enough

But how can that be, you're not so evil

I'm not so good, crazy or mean, so we start spinningYou wouldn't want to let us go easy

Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning

You wouldn't want to let him down easy

Or he just might become the threatShe's so dramatic, she says I'm leaving

Is that a promise or a threat?

So we start spinningYou wouldn't want to let us go easy

Or you just might become too weak to stop spinning

You wouldn't want to let him down easy

Or he just might become the one you wantI am the voice you'll never get, I am the one

I am the promise and the threat and the threat
