My Silent Promises

I told you I’d never break a promise

But here you are as proof I did

How did it come to this

The heartbreak I forbid

I told you I’d be there for you

I guess I screwed that up

I thought it was true

That we’d see it through

Now I’m here and trying not to cry

Well at least I tried

And my stomach’s sick

Going to take a trip

To the bathroom now

I’m going down

All I see is the floor

I’m broken at the core

I wished you died in my arms

So I could apologize

I’ve broken all these promises

All these people try to sympathize

But they don’t know

My silent promises

I promised you in my head

I’d be there for you

You’ll be okay I should have said

But I guess that’s a lie too

And now you’re asleep

Oh how I beg you to wake

It hurts too deep

What a life to take

A treasure

Just to admire

A pleasure

Brilliant like fire

Please wake up

I promise I’ll be there this time

A shame it took this to happen for me to notice

Your suffering… Come on it’s daytime

I can’t focus

Your pale face blurry with tears

Why did I let you down

I can’t imagine your fears

You won’t make a sound
