I Promised

I promised I wouldn't hurt you,
or take your life away

I promised I wouldn't lie to you,
I swore I was okay

I promised I didn't want to die,
or hurt myself by cutting

I promised I loved my life,
you always saw me laughing

I promised I cared for them,
I hugged them everyday

I promised I would kill myself,
the day I took my life away

I promised I would say good-bye,
the first lie I've ever lied

I promised I would never cry,
but I did the day I died

A promise I would never break,
was broken every day

A promise I would never say,
was spoken anyway
