False promises

Verse 1

You looked me in the eyes and swore you'd never leave,

Built a home with words too easy to believe.

Now I'm standing in the ashes of our plans,

Trying to hold together with shaking hands.

Every promise turned to smoke in the night,

Every "forever" faded out of sight.

I'm picking up the pieces that you left behind,

But I can't find the version of me I used to find.

Pre-Chorus

I'm breaking slower than the world can see,

Smiling while there's nothing left of me.

Chorus

Your false promises still echo in my head,

Haunting every word that you once said.

I'm falling apart one breath at a time,

Trying to convince myself that I'll be fine.

You painted heaven, then left me in the rain,

Now I'm learning love can wear the face of pain.

If forever was real, why'd you let it fade?

I'm just another heart your lies betrayed.

Verse 2

I replay the nights like a worn-out song,

Wondering where everything went wrong.

You said you'd fight through every storm with me,

But you were gone before the clouds could leave.

Now every scar reminds me of your name,

And every sunrise feels a little less the same.

I'm tired of pretending I don't feel the fall,

When I'm barely standing through it all.

Bridge

Maybe one day these cracks will heal,

Maybe one day this pain won't feel so real.

But tonight I'm drowning in the memories,

Trying to set my broken heart free.

Final Chorus

Your false promises still live inside my mind,

Like shadows that refuse to stay behind.

I'm falling apart, but I won't stay down,

I'll find my light beneath this broken ground.

You took my trust, but not the soul I keep,

These wounds run deep, but they won't bury me.

One day you'll hear the silence that you made,

While I become stronger than your false promises ever were.
