They promised to be by my side always
They promised they\'d love me
They promised they wouldn\'t leave me
Broken promises surround me
Shattered on the ground like glass
Sharp to the touch
I try to pick them up and piece them back together but I only get cut
Broken promises are all I ever get
No one will keep them
\"You shouldn\'t make promises you can\'t or won\'t keep.\" My mother has always told me
Yet everyone I know and care about do that to me
Including her
When you break a promise
It\'s like breaking the heart
It\'s painful
They promised to always be here for me
No matter what
They lied
They tore my heart to shreds
It\'s unbearably painful
Broken promises
Broken promises fill my head
Lie after lie
So many promises broken I can\'t count
I would never break a promise
So why would you?..
Broken, shattered promises
