You said “Count on me”
Like it was sealed in stone
I kept the room warm
Kept the porch light on
Your words on my table
Cold as yesterday’s rain
I held them all night
Till they split in my hands
Now I know
What your “maybe”means
A door half-closed
And a hundred scenes
You left me there
With the waiting
Broken promise broken promise
You said it like you meant it
Broken promise broken promise
Now I wear it in the silence
I believed you I believed you
That’s the part that cuts the deepest
Broken promise broken promise
And I can’t unhear it
Your jacket’s still hanging
On the back of the chair
Your favorite mug’s chipped
But it’s still there
I made too much coffee
For a house gone cold
Funny how trust
Can leave a crack in your soul
Now I know
What your “always”costs
A pretty lie
With the edges lost
You left me there
With the waiting
Broken promise broken promise
You said it like you meant it
Broken promise broken promise
Now I wear it in the silence
I believed you I believed you
That’s the part that cuts the deepest
Broken promise broken promise
And I can’t unhear it
Don’t call me back
With that same old tone
I built a life
Out of holding on
But even love
Has a line it won’t cross
You don’t get the key
After you lost it all
Broken promise broken promise
You said it like you meant it
Broken promise broken promise
Now I wear it in the silence
I believed you I believed you
That’s the part that cuts the deepest
Broken promise broken promise
And I can’t unhear it
I can’t unhear it
I can’t unhear it
Broken promise
