Broken Promises

I want to write you a love note
for the entire universe to see

But the love I had for you is gone
It came out of me like a river of blood

Yesterday I saw forever in your eyes 
Today all I see is broken promises 

If I stay with you I will lose myself 
I will be no more, I will surely die

Why try to hold on to the memory of yesterday 
This relationship is dead and it's just a mirage

It would take a miracle to resurrect this sham
Yesterday I believed in us and miracles

Today I don't believe in anything at all
Because I found that it's a waste of time

I stare at this blank piece of paper
    but the ink that have is blood
