No Anger - ArlenaZara
I kept your words tucked in my chest
Like they were treasure, like they were best
You swore forever, swore you'd stay
But forever slowly slipped away
I traced the lines where your hand once held
Every vow you made, I've compelled
To stay alive in my fragile mind
Even when the truth was unkind
I should have let go
I should have known
Love can't survive
On what's already gone
I'm holding broken promises
Shattered pieces of what we believed
I'm clutching memories that cut more than they relieve
No anger, just sorrow
No fight left to give
I'm still here holding
Broken promises
I keep replaying your soft goodbyes
See our love in every lie
I built my world around your words
Only to be left unheard
I gave my heart, I gave my all
Watched you break it, watched me fall
Yet I keep them close, I can't release
The broken promises that never cease
I tell myself I'll move ahead
But your ghost sleeps where I lay my head
I'm holding broken promises
Shattered pieces of what we believed
I'm clutching memories that cut more than they relieve
No anger, just sorrow
No fight left to give
I'm still here holding
Broken promises
If love was truth, I'd let it go
But I can't forget the love I know
Even in pieces, it still remains
A bittersweet echo of all the pain
I gave you everything, I gave my time
Now I'm haunted by what was never mine
I'm holding broken promises
Even though they tore me apart
I'm holding on to fragments of your once loving heart
No hope, no closure
Just memories to forgive
I'm still standing, holding
Broken promises
One day I'll release, one day I'll be free
But tonight they still bleed inside me
I'm surviving the quiet of it
Holding promises
Holding promises
