Brand New Promises

Folder: 
Love

promises that were made to be broken

harsh words cruely spoken

through the years ive heard it all

broken by the past; afraid to fall

the words that are falling

from your mouth to my ears

sound like brand new promises

sent by you to ease my fears

just try if you can not to tear me apart

sometimes words are razor sharp

sometimes hearts can break so easy

sometimes i wanna know that you need me

now, ive heard this promise so many times

"I'll love you forever, till the day that i die"

2 fights later, im cold and alone

kinda weird how he's never home

kinda mean that he left me that way

kinda funny when i think back today

about all the things he said to me that night

about all the wrongs he never made right

oh well, his loss, those feelings have died

killed my spirit, but kept me alive

just please dont promise me the world

something full of murder, hate and greed

just promise me your love for today

this sanity is something i need

and if i ever start to fail

at making your eyes shine bright

it would break my heart and kill my soul,

but id let you leave tonight

the worst cuts are the ones below the surface

the ones that continue to bleed

the worst friends are the ones you cant depend on

they run in times of need

but ive made some new friends

with the thoughts inside my head

they beat me up and leave me confused

im not really sure what they said

it was about you im sure

something about love, or trust

they said i could find these things in you

but then theres always greed, and lust

but you know, with the good always comes the bad

and they say with the happy comes the sad

well i say for every tear that falls

you bring 5 more smiles to melt it away

sometimes i get lonely when you dont call

yea but i love you all the same

hey, buck up happy camper

you know i love you so

hey darlin, you're my sunshine

just thought youd like to know
