Postcards - Amber Pacific

I'll quote a clever line like "hope"
I'll take the final words you wrote
To make them feel like bliss
As always as i'll take the praise
I have a way with making things
Scripted like a song
That makes you sting

I need you here with me
So here's our heart to heart
On the back of postcards
Sent from california
Remember when I said
Just stay what you are
I know you hate the feeling
When I walk away
When i'm without you
I'm not the man that I know I can be
Because you're not here with me

You can break my heart open
And ruin my epic ending
Your hand like a noose
Around my neck
But the next time you say
"Promise me"
I'll make one for myself
To always stay what I am
