[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Outro]
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
