Empty Promises
Empty Promises
I have to move on from this constant race
Trying to change things that are no longer the case
Begging for those empty promises to one day be fulfilled
It's not my fault, but it is, I gave my hope a thrill
It couldn't have just been a desired void
An ongoing cringe my body was annoyed
And once again on this day-you found a way
A way so simple, you knew how to turn my life gray
I'm not sure if many cared about my education,
Yet everyone's waiting to attend my graduation
So many damned the process
Moving their pawns as if we're playing chess to not progress
Promises upon anticipation
Once was all right, yet look at the creation
Those empty promises going all through my head
Trying to remember the last thing you had said
I prayed and you stole
You had strayed and I was left not, whole
You require so very much from me
Yet the obvious, you cannot give to ye
Maybe it was supposed to be like this,
It just hurt me inside and makes it hard not to reminisce
Just let me open up a briefcase
To try to embrace all the challenges that took place,
But would that help or will I end up needed an Advil?
Just donate my heart to Goodwill
Because whatever healing process I went through was destroyed
And there was nothing I could have really avoid
I have to move on from this constant race
Trying to change things that are no longer the case
Begging for those empty promises to one day be fulfilled
It's not my fault, but it is, I gave my hope a thrill
It couldn't have just been a desired void
An ongoing cringe my body was annoyed
And once again on this day-you found a way
A way so simple, you knew how to turn my life gray
I'm not sure if many cared about my education,
Yet everyone's waiting to attend my graduation
So many damned the process
Moving their pawns as if we're playing chess to not progress
Promises upon anticipation
Once was all right, yet look at the creation
Those empty promises going all through my head
Trying to remember the last thing you had said
I prayed and you stole
You had strayed and I was left not, whole
You require so very much from me
Yet the obvious, you cannot give to ye
Maybe it was supposed to be like this,
It just hurt me inside and makes it hard not to reminisce
Just let me open up a briefcase
To try to embrace all the challenges that took place,
But would that help or will I end up needed an Advil?
Just donate my heart to Goodwill
Because whatever healing process I went through was destroyed
And there was nothing I could have really avoid
