Cross my heart and hope to die
If I should ever let myself
Be used again
As an instrument of my destruction
It's like tearing apart
It's breaking my heart
For you to see this side of me
The things I try to my best to keep inside
Promises may get broken
But there's one thing that I know
I promise
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again
Lost my mind
Somewhere between the drive home
And the key that turns my peace to rage
You're somewhere caught in my contention
As I push you away
Though I want you to stay and see a different side of me
I'm screaming
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again
I don't want complication
Don't need this separation
No communication
When there's something wrong
Here I am
Come closer take my hand
I won't let nothing come between us
I promise
I promise
I'm screaming
I promise
I will hold you closer and closer
I will hold you in these arms of mine
I will hold you, hold you, hold you
Closer, closer
Over and over again
