Empty Promises

She said forever, now I’m sitting here alone,

Wrapped in the thoughts of the thoughts that you’ve thrown

Away for good, baby, I can’t believe

Those three words would come back to backstab me

We danced real slow, in the heat of the night,

Now every night’s turned into a tiring fight.

I’m sick and i’m tired of drowning in pain

Doing all that I can just to stay in my lane

You promised me the world, the Sun and the stars,

But now it’s just echoes and scabbed over scars

You were my dream, now I can’t breathe,

Your empty promises keep haunting me.

Every word you spoke, it filled my heart full,

Every moment we shared, honey none of it was dull

I trusted your touch, and I let my walls down

But your touch turned to dust, now all I touch is that Crown

You promised me the world, the Sun and the stars,

But now it’s just echoes and scabbed over scars

You were my dream, now I can’t breathe,

Your empty promises keep haunting me.

Now I’m standing on the edge of what could’ve been,

Chasing the girl that left me drowning in this pit

Pills just don’t cut it and the drinks ain’t enough

To take those empty promises and throw them out with the rest of your stuff.
