Broken Promise

You made a promise and I trusted you with my heart,
You promised love and I gave you my life.

When you said help and cried,
I rushed to be by your side.

When I held out my arms into them you rushed,
Held me oh so tight.

But now I sit at night losing my mind,
Crying till the daylight comes.

You say I’m silly feeling this sad, 
When I say you don’t need me;
That I’m crazy,
But I know you no longer feel the same.

If it’s time for me to go,
Take this as true;
I’ll always love you.
