Promise Me

Promise Me.

All those times you said you love me.;
I didn't wanna believe them at first.
You think I don't give a damn,
You think I'm wasting your time.
And I really didn't wanna tell you
Coz I didn't wanna admit the truth

You see I have been hurt before.
I've already crashed and burn,
Almost didn't get out of it alive.
But maybe you should know now.
I gave heart once upon a time
Knew I wasn't ready, didn't stop me.

See I gave him my everything
He turned me down and broke me 
Even when he's already gone
Can't seem to ever let him go.
Never knew what I should do
Coz I see him everywhere I turn.

For all those lies he's ever told
And all those promises he broke
I really didn't wanna give a damn
Still I end up crying myself to sleep.
Forcing a smile to hide the pain away
Pretending to be ok, as I die inside.

I'm just getting the me I knew back.
I never liked to admit my hurt
I didn't wanna let you see the pain 
But maybe you should know that,
I'm starting to care for you too;
Just promise you'll wait for me.
