Broken Promises (Part 2)

I wanted you to be happy
And I knew it was with her
So I just kept on smiling
With the memories of what we were

I remembered the times I had you
When you were only mine
Today it got easier
And things like this did take time

I knew I had to be strong
And for my sake I swore I would
But when I moved on and let go
I never said I'd not love you still

I don't want us to ever be
Everything we once were
But my tears slowly faded
From that state of my tainted tear blur

I often remember what you promised me
Even though that promise never came true
Promises are always broken
Sometimes that's what they're there to do

I slowly got better
And eventually no tears were starting to fall
I did my best to get over you
And I gave it my all

I kept the promises I told you
Well, I tried my very best
I got rid of the love I once had for you
And I didn't have to put my love to rest

I picked up the pieces of my heart
And put it back together
I'll never forget the promises you made me
Especially the one about forever

I listened to what people said
And took their helpful advice
Today I'm happy again
And have fully moved on with my life

I knew I would always love you
Though it will never feel the same
In my heart forever
Is the remainder of your name

I'm sorry for everything I caused you
And trying to live that lie
I'm glad we stayed friends
So we didn't have to permanently say good bye

I picked up my heart
And made it whole again
It was time for me to move on
And stop dwelling in the pain

I kept on walking
And you didn't pull me back
I walked into the sunset
And got my life back on track

Our memories I'll keep forever
They're done but not gone
This is the end of my story
About a girl who moved on
