You Swore

You swore…

You swore you’d never hurt me.

(you lied… didn’t you?)

You swore you’d love me,

You swore you’d never leave.

You swore you’d never break me —

but now I can’t believe.

You said forever,

then walked away like I was air.

How do you fake a promise

and still pretend to care?

You think I’d stay the same,

still whisper your name.

But the fire you lit burned out —

and I’m not to blame.

You swore all these things,

then tore me apart.

You built me up,

then shattered my heart.

You think I’d love you anyway,

but I’ve changed —

I’ve changed.

I won’t sit here and take it,

I’m done with the pain.

You think I’ll forgive,

like I always do.

But I’m done making peace

with the ghost of you.

You crossed the line,

now I draw it back.

You can keep your words —

I’ll take my heart intact.

You think I’d stay the same,

still whisper your name.

But I’m colder now —

and you’ve got no flame.

You swore all these things,

then tore me apart.

You built me up,

then shattered my heart.

You think I’d love you anyway,

but I’ve changed —

I’ve changed.

I won’t sit here and take it,

I’m done with the pain.

(you swore… you swore… you swore…)

Every lie still rings in my bones,

But I’m stronger now — I’m not yours to own.

You swore, but I see through your eyes —

Truth fades, but memory never dies.

You swore all these things,

then tore me apart.

You built me up,

then broke my heart.

You think I’d love you anyway,

but I’ve changed —

I’ve changed.

I won’t sit here and take it,

Not again.

You swore…

But I don’t believe you anymore.

(you swore… you swore…)
