Never Make Me Promises That You Don't Intend To Keep

by FlawlesslyTarnished   Oct 4, 2007


Never make me promises
that you don't intend to keep
you don't know what its like
to sit up every night and weep

you're always so damn selfish
you'll never understand
the pain i silently endure
or how fragile that i am

you always make these promises
and i stupidly believe
oh, how gullible i was
to have been so easily deceived

never make me promises
that you don't intend to keep
because every single one you break
makes the pain inside me go so deep

for every promise that you break
is another lie inside my heart
another scar to cover up
as i lay here in the dark

I'm feeling evanescent
slowly fading from your grasp
our friendship knot untightening
i knew this wouldn't last

never make me promises
that you don't intend to keep
you don't know what the outcome
so the pain inside will seep

you're pushing me aside
like i mean nothing at all
how can you look away
when I'm clearly starting to fall

how can you turn your back
and ignore my cries for help
how can you pretend that you don't see
how I'm alone and by myself. .

well. .I'm NOT gonna wait around
and i refuse to accept defeat
so don't EVER make me promises
that you don't intend to keep

-comment && vote.
will return the favor. :]]
thankz XD
