Broken Promises

[Verse 1]
You said you’d stay
Swore you’d die first
Carved my name
Right into the dirt
You kissed my scars
Counted them slow
Said every cut
Was “something we’d grow”
Crushed in your hands
Like a cheap pill
You fed me “forever”
Till I felt ill
You smiled sweet
While you cracked my spine
Called it love
While you drank my mind
[Chorus]
You fucking broke me
Loved you while you choked me
(Breathless, hopeless)
Promises meant to be broken
You tore me open
Left my faith corroding
Heart on the line, and you froze it
Promises meant to be
Promises meant to be broken
[Verse 2]
You wore my hoodie
Like a hunter’s skin
Dragged my trust
To the lions again
Said, “I’m a mess
But I’m all you got”
You lit the match
Then blamed the spot
I played your priest
In a cracked booth
You spat your sins
Then buried the truth
You cried “don’t leave”
With your hands on my throat
Every “I love you”
Another cutthroat quote
[Chorus]
You fucking broke me
Loved you while you choked me
(bleeding, joking)
Promises meant to be broken
You tore me open
Left my faith corroding
Heart on the line, and you froze it
Promises meant to be
Promises meant to be broken
[Bridge]
I gave you my veins
You gave me a void
You called it a game
While I got destroyed
Was I just a mirror
For your fear, your shame?
Now I’m smashing every frame
Screaming out your name
[Chorus]
You fucking broke me
Loved you while you choked me
(hear this, focus)
Promises meant to be broken
You tore me open
Left my faith corroding
Heart on the line, and you froze it
Promises meant to be
Promises meant to be broken
