My heart has been broken for the last time, You were the straw that broke the camel’s back, You never really loved me, But you hid it so well. You hurt my best friends, And that hurt me too, It took me 9 entire months, Just...

Where did it go wrong? We made a lot of sweet promises Weak foundation, broken soul Endless days of torture and snoring Now, my life is falling The day you left I died Vultures are still feasting on my body We parted on a golden dawn What a cruel world we live I tried but her past couldn’t let her be Why did this happen...

Promises are made only to fade quickly with broken vows that are never given a chance to be kept. How easily they are gathered and weathered and swept under the woven rug. Empty words of love are spoken to tease your heart that is bleeding and broken, But soon they fade into the bitter, cold...

Have you forgotten what it was? Have you lost what we could be? Too many broken promises you’ve given. Too many of us lost needlessly. Perhaps under a different sky they’d still be here? Perhaps with a different voice love never would have disappeared? With all your words, where was the truth? With all your promises where are the deeds? Why does the...
