Anthem of the Broken
A promise whispered so sweetly,Who could
have ever known? Slowly, I let go of the past
For you. Let go of everything and started anew.
Unfortunately, our first kiss wasn't your last.
You took my hand and taught me how to be
Human, but every promise you had ever spoken
Was a lie, so cleverly disguised. Now, I know the truth.
Forever, this will be the Anthem of the Broken.
I never thought you'd end up playing this game.
Those walls I put up, they came down for only you.
I'm alone, you're gone. But I can't help to remember
How it used to be. Remember the man I once knew.
You took my hand and taught me how to be
Human, but every promise you had ever spoken
Was a lie, so cleverly disguised. Now, I know the truth.
Forever, this will be the Anthem of the Broken.
Forever, this will be,
This will be,
The anthem of the Broken.
Nothing can change the past, nothing will bring you back.
This heart's just been broken too many times before.
So many scars and so many stitches tell the story of who
I was. I only want to be able to walk away from this affair.
You took my hand and taught me how to be
Human, but every promise you had ever spoken
Was a lie, so cleverly disguised. Now, I know the truth.
Forever, this will be the Anthem of the Broken.
Forever, the anthem of the broken.
I watched you walk away, watched you move on like we
Never happened. You never looked back, never gave me a chance
Just kept walking, Didn't know What to think,
Couldn't understand why I fell for your lies, why I agreed to this romance.
You took my hand and taught me how to be
Human, but every promise you had ever spoken
Was a lie, so cleverly disguised. Now, I know the truth.
Forever, this will be the Anthem of the Broken.
Oh, Broken into tiny pieces, so small and delicate.
It hurts me more than you'll ever know to pick
them up. tiny pieces of glass cut my hands as I work,
Trying to repair my heart, why did I have to love you, dick?
Now I know the truth, Now I can see through your lies, Saw how
Every promise you made was fake as soon as it was spoken.
Here I go, standing in a wasteland, watching you leave
And softly signing the anthem of the broken.
