A Promise
A Promise
Korryn Bachner
If I were a boyfriend
I would treat a girl right
And show her that love still exists
I would pick up your pieces
And sew you right back up
Stitch by stitch
If I were a boyfriend
If I were a boyfriend
I would only guide you to happiness
Spoil you and treat you like a queen
Show you my flaws, be vulnerable
Struggle together
So we could grow together
If I were a boyfriend
If I were a boyfriend
I wouldn’t break my loyalty
I would come to you first for all my problems
I would talk to you
Hoping to receive respect as a response
I’d almost be too perfect of a man
If I were a boyfriend
If I were a boyfriend
I might overwhelm you
I could become a little bit too clingy
But it would all be out of love
I might end up being too good of a guy
To the point that no one wants me
It would take me some time to realize
You aren’t used to being truly loved
If I were a boyfriend
I might have to take a few steps back
Slow myself down
Give you some space
If I were a boyfriend
If I were a boyfriend
I could set an example
I would treat you as my princess
And maybe just maybe
Guys would follow my lead
Once people see our happiness
They’ll long for our bond
They’ll want the same thing
If I were a boyfriend.
