Promise

I promised you a better life, a one worth living,
I promised you a better home, than I could give.
I promised you a better world, to hope and dream In.
I promised you a better life than this!

It wasn't supposed to be this way,
you weren't meant to watch me fail.
This life that I made for you,
I fought to no avail.
I sacrificed everything for you to succeed.
But the more that I give of myself, the more I need!

I promised you a better life, a one worth living,
I promised you a better home, than I could give.
I promised you a better world, to hope and dream In.
I promised you a better life than this!

My eyes were blind to the selflessness,
I could not change all the brokenness you will see.
This world will promise you everything!
Just dont let them take away your dreams,
and smile at everything!

I promised you a better life, a one worth living,
I promised you a better home, than I could give.
I promised you a better world, to hope and dream In.
I promised you a better life than this!

Did I give enough?
Did I give enough?
Did I give up everything?
Did I give up everything just to let you down?
You deserve much better than this!

I promised you a better life, a one worth living,
I promised you a better home, than I could give.
I promised you a better world, to hope and dream In.
I promised you a better life than this!
