Broken Promise

You told me you loved me
I know this wasn’t true
You told me you needed me
Why did I believe you?
You told me you cared for me
This was nothing new
 
You told me you would hold me
All through the night
You told me you would keep me safe
Always be my guiding light
You told me you would never walk away
Then your promises took flight
 
I gave you my heart
You took it with ease
I gave you my soul
My mind you constantly tease
I gave you my promise
But I never seem to please
 
I begged you not to leave me
Tried to keep you as mine
I cried a million tears
Only to waste my time
I tried to keep you in my life
But my love you’ve left behind
