Broken Promise







You promised me that everything



Would be alright…



You told me that the future was



Like any other night.







You told me that tomorrow would



Be just like today,



You told me what you’d do



And you told me where we’d stay.







You told me of the joy it’d bring



You told me of the songs we’d sing



You told me of the wind we’d feel



Passing us by.







But now I’m by the riverbed



Crying tears; I didn’t know I had



It in me to go this far.



I didn’t know I’d go this far…







But you left me all alone



Out on my own



With no place to go,



I have no home.







You kicked me out



Without a word,



You left me hurt



You left me scarred.







You promised me that everything



Would be alright…



You told me that the future was



Like any other night.







You promised me that everything



Would be alright…



You told me that the future was



Like any other night.







But you lied to my face,



You betrayed my trust,



You backstabbed and gagged me,



Left me speechless, left me bleeding…







And you promised me that everything



Would be alright…



You told me that the future was



Like any other night.







But the future’s what I’m waiting on



I’m thinking it has come and gone;



But I’ll sit by the riverbed



Until the right’s been wronged (or until I’m dead and gone…)
