I Was Just Another Promise You Couldn't Keep

Lyrics for I Was Just Another Promise You Couldn't Keep

What if you were but a gift To my estranged and miserable heart Would you guide me back to times of grace? Where I felt sheltered, where I still felt alive?! You were the most important chapter In the book of my life You were the summit I was almost there But now my heart is broken And yours seem broken too Don't promise me forever If you never meant to You gave up on me Way easier I gave up on myself You forgot me so quickly I'm pretty sure you never cared But the past is like an anchor The past's the greatest fall-apart A hole filled with gunpowder in my chest Where once, once was a heart And you will search for me In the arms of another stranger You will search for me Not eventually, that's a fucking promise So when did we lose sight? Fuck, we used to be so close And now you became The main source of my pain And I don't know how to live on Or make it go away And I don't know how to live on Or make it go away I wanna be the pain in your paintings I wanna be the tempest in your words I wanna be young love, too vague to insist I wanna be your poem of solitude and grief You were the most important chapter In the book of my life You were the summit I was almost there You gave up on me Way easier I gave up on myself You forgot me so quickly I'm pretty sure you never cared But the past is like an anchor The greatest fall- apart A hole filled with gunpowder in my chest Where once was a heart Just once I'd like to be the poem And not again its fucking poet I was just another promise you couldn't keep Burn everything that bears my name Cause nothing will ever be louder Than the silence between two people That once pretended to love each other And were ready to see the world burn
