your promise to stay 
was a promise to leave 
your promise to take the pain 
was a promise you knew you couldn't keep
        
...
    
        i slit my wrists and try to die
blood seeps out and trickles down
kind of thing to make a grown man cry
another death in this small town
        
...
    
        i hear your voice...
you say you love me...
i see your face...
could you really be?
        
...
    
        its so hard not to tell you how i feel
that i miss you
its not that i'm just lonely cause he left
but really its your quiet understanding
        
...
    
                    Promise
                    
                    your promise to stay 
was a promise to leave 
your promise to take the pain 
was a promise you knew you couldn't keep 
your promise to care 
was a promise i wanted you to keep 
your promise to love 
was a promise meant for someone else 
your promise to be there 
was a promise i still want 
your promise not to hurt me 
was a promise i thought you'd keep 
and even though i still care 
and even though it still hurts 
i promise i'll get over you 
and your promises... 
eventually
