The Promises And The Threat lyrics

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

when she came out, she brought her anger
she left her sympathy behind the walls she built for me

so we start spinning
you 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 promise

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 spinning
you 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 threat

she’s so dramatic, she says, “I’m leaving”
is that a promise or a threat?

so we start spinning
you 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 want

I am the voice you'll never get
I am the one…I am the promise and the threat
