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.
