You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall You held it all and I was by your side, powerless I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end I'm left with emptiness that words can not defend You'll never know what I became because of you Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall You held it all and I was by your side, powerless And you held it all but you were careless to let it fall You held it all and I was by your side, powerless Powerless Powerless Powerless
