You Promised - ArlenaZara
You drew a future on my window
Signed my name like it was home
You swore the road was leading forward
Now I'm walking it alone
You held my hands and made me trust you
Every word felt safe and true
I built my heart around your promises
And watched them fall right through
You said forever like a shelter
Like I'd never stand in rain
But the place you swore you'd protect
Is exactly where I'm in pain
I'm broken where you promised
The way love was meant to grow
You left the deepest damage
In the safest place I know
I believed in every word you said
Till my faith was torn in two
I'm breaking at the altar
Of the promises I made to you
I replay all the late night talking
All the plans we never tried
I was holding on to heaven
While you were saying goodbye
You changed your mind without a warning
Left me reaching for your hand
Now I'm standing in the ruins
Of the life I thought we planned
I trusted you with every scar
Every fear I tried to hide
You walked away without looking back
While I stayed and cried
I'm broken where you promised
The way hope was supposed to stay
You turned always into silence
And forever into yesterday
I loved you with my whole heart
Not knowing what you'd do
I'm breaking in the only place
I ever felt safe with you
Love shouldn't feel like betrayal
Or trust in just a fall
I gave you all my tenderness
You gave me nothing at all
If healing means forgiving you
I'm trying but it's hard
You didn't just break my heart
You broke my belief in love
I was broken where you promised
But I'm learning how to mend
I'll rebuild myself from pieces
You were never meant to win
I'll find a love that keeps its word
That stays honest and true
I was broken where you promised
But I won't stay broken
Because of you
You promised me forever
Now promise me the truth
