What I Can Promise

You want to get to know me
I've just been scared to let you see
My insufficiency
Makes things never turn out perfectly

My failures always leave me wanting
My mind my sins are always haunting
You have a positive illusion
So let's end all of this confusion

I cannot promise
that I will never mess up
But I can promise
I'll try to never give up

And once you're in my arms
I will always try to
Once you're in my arms
That's all I really know

Will I always show you love?
Will I be all you're dreaming of?
Though I wish it will be so
I can only predict: no

I hope I will never break your heart
I hope I will not let things fall apart
I'll try not to
But I cannot promise you that

I cannot promise
that I will never mess up
But I can promise
I'll try to never give up

And once you're in my arms
I will always try to
Once you're in my arms
That's all I really know

I'm a weak and sinful man
Who can't always love you
Trust that Jesus can
He never lets you go

That's all I really know
