your promise to stay
was a promise to leave
your promise to take the pain
was a promise you knew you couldn't keep
...
i slit my wrists and try to die
blood seeps out and trickles down
kind of thing to make a grown man cry
another death in this small town
...
i hear your voice...
you say you love me...
i see your face...
could you really be?
...
its so hard not to tell you how i feel
that i miss you
its not that i'm just lonely cause he left
but really its your quiet understanding
...
Promise
your promise to stay
was a promise to leave
your promise to take the pain
was a promise you knew you couldn't keep
your promise to care
was a promise i wanted you to keep
your promise to love
was a promise meant for someone else
your promise to be there
was a promise i still want
your promise not to hurt me
was a promise i thought you'd keep
and even though i still care
and even though it still hurts
i promise i'll get over you
and your promises...
eventually
