House of Broken Promises

House of Broken Promises

(Dark R&B / Hip-Hop • Female vocals • Moody • Emotional • Confident)

(Yeah…)

(Mmm…)

(Oh-oh…)

You built a home with pretty lies…

Now all that’s left is echoes…

Yeah…

Walked through the front door, everything looked perfect,

Pictures on the wall but the love wasn’t worth it.

Smiles in the daylight, secrets after midnight,

Every “I got you” turned into another goodbye.

I was decorating dreams while you were packing excuses,

Calling all that heartbreak “just a little confusion.”

Now the silence got a heartbeat,

And your memory keeps haunting me.

Every promise hit the floor,

Like broken glass across the room.

Thought we’d make it through the storm,

Instead, you became the storm.

This is a house of broken promises,

Every room got your fingerprints.

Every hallway echoes what we used to be,

Now it’s just me talking to memories.

Windows cracked from all your lies,

Couldn’t save us if I tried.

Packed my pain and grabbed my peace—

Ain’t no love left underneath.

House of broken promises…

I’m finally finding my way out…

Yeah…

You kept saying “forever,”

But forever had an expiration date.

You loved me when it felt convenient,

Then blamed me for your mistakes.

Now the bed feels colder,

But my heart gets stronger.

Every tear I cried

Made me last a little longer.

I stopped begging for attention,

Stopped chasing empty conversations.

You lost someone who would’ve stayed,

I lost someone who never planned to.

Look…

You sold dreams with a silver tongue,

Left me carrying what you done.

I rebuilt everything from dust,

Now you watching while I level up.

Ain’t no key to this new life,

Changed the locks, changed my mind.

You can keep your fake “I’m sorry,”

I don’t revisit old stories.

You broke the walls,

I built a castle.

Turned all that pressure into power.

Now every blessing hit different—

Pain made me stronger every hour.

No more crying on the bathroom floor…

No more waiting by the door…

No more wishing you’d become

Someone you never were…

I’m choosing me…

Finally breathing free…

This is a house of broken promises,

But I’m not trapped inside of it.

Painted over every scar you left,

Now I’m loving me instead.

You can keep your empty words,

I finally know what I deserve.

Closed the chapter, locked the gate—

I’m not living in yesterday.

House of broken promises…

No longer feels like home…

No…

I’m finally home…

With myself…

(Yeah…)

(Mmm…)

Sometimes the strongest thing you can do…

Is walk away…

And never look back…
