[bodytext] => The Promise You Made To Me I remember the words that were spoken Like it happened just today You made me a promise Or was it a game I didn’t know was in play As you laid there beside me Said you were confessing and pledging your heart All along knowing it wasn’t true You never intended for me to play that large a part I wanted to believe every word And intention was true to the core I dropped all my defenses And was left with a hole in my heart and a soul that was tore The more time that passed The more severe and deeper goes the wound I thought surely healing would begin For my sanity sake I hope it does soon I believed in what you said you stood for And who you said you were But there has been so much deception That everything now is such a blur What I can figure out And I’m sure will never understand What did you think you would gain? What was the purpose of your plan? I can’t believe I fell for it And The Promise You Made To Me You’re very selfish and cruel Is what I now have come to believe There was no reason to do those things There was no cause or a need As I have stood on the outside I’m not the only one that you mislead How can you live with these things That you say and you do? Where do you draw the justification? And for the record who are you? I’ve watched the patterns And the destruction that you leave in your wake How do you live a life like that? How do you pull off being so fake? You say you care about others But that can hardly be true I know I’m far from perfect But I wish I’d only knew I still would have helped you And done whatever I can There was no need for you to take advantage When I reached out my hand You can say whatever you want But your actions speak loud and clear I’ve learned a great lesson And over it won’t shed another tear I do thank you for some things That you started and tried to do But when it’s all on the table Those that are left add up to be few It’s a vicious cycle you spin For all those that are around You said you didn’t know why people act the way they do Well that answer I’ve found When you do what you do And convince them to trust and believe What do you think will happen when you break it? Like you did The Promise You Made To Me What I wish you would realize Is you don’t have to do all that mess I hope you break the cycle soon And give it a rest It’s got to get lonely When you keep hurting those with whom you’re around I hope you know I only say this cause I care And I want you to have the same peace that I’ve found History speaks for itself In everything we say and do Keep that in mind with next promise made Not just to yourself but others too.
