There’s a part right now inside of me
That’s broken halfway through
And I hate to have to say it
But it’s like that because of you
Broken promises and broken dreams
That’s the way it always is it seems
The promises you make but never seem to keep
They stab me in the heart hard and deep
I thought you weren’t like all the rest
But like those before you’ve failed the test
It’s when things go wrong that you mustn’t quit
That’s what you always said isn’t it
You convinced me to give one more try
With knees skinned I forgot to cry
You taught me to defend what’s right
And never back down from a fight
So I learned the hard way to stand
Still with each lump I found your hand
Drawing from you an inner strength
And stubborn pride of equal length
But there the line of fate was drawn
As though I blinked and you were gone
I’m not sure if arrogance played a part
All I know is the guilt alone can kill
Even when you said you had everything you were looking for
You always seemed to look for more
I realize now that I open my eyes I see so much more
And you’re not worth fighting for
Darling don’t argue because you know it’s true
When forever is just a word without meaning
The pain lasts nearly that long
I can’t get up although I try
Don’t be upset if I cry
Though I can’t fight what I can’t see
Please just say you’re proud of me
