My Songs

Broken Promise

Verse 1:

The shattered picture on the floor
Echoes of you slamming the door
You were my worst consequence
But you gave me reason and common sense
Now these halls are stained with a crime
I swore I shouldn't but you're still on my mind
They told me that I shouldn't feel this way
Yet, this feeling doesn't seem to go away

Chorus:

You were a broken promise made
But you were my best mistake
I gave up everything for a lie
Wish I could say it was a bad life
Like I convinced everybody else
But then I would be lying to myself
Now I have to be honest
Even with our broken promise

Verse 2:

You have high expectations
I'm still waiting for an explanation
What did I ever do wrong
Cause now that you are gone
I've been feeling a little numb
Even if you made me feel dumb
I really want you to come back
Even if your love was all an act

Chorus:

You were a broken promise made
But you were my best mistake
I gave up everything for a lie
Wish I could say it was a bad life
Like I convinced everybody else
But then I would be lying to myself
Now I have to be honest
Even with our broken promise

Bridge:

Can you really blame me
For falling for you so blindly
I know you'll never come home
And I'll have to be on my own
Yet there is still some hope
Until then, I'll have to cope
With this emptiness inside
Heal the wounds with time

Chorus:

You were a broken promise made
But you were my best mistake
I gave up everything for a lie
Wish I could say it was a bad life
Like I convinced everybody else
But then I would be lying to myself
Now I have to be honest
Even with our broken promise
