All the time I wanted you to see
What you would lose if you gave up on me
All the time I wanted you to understand
That I'm the only one who could ever hold your hand
Every day I pray for you to see the light
Remember how we were, how it felt so right
Every word you said I believed
Little did I know that love would bring deceit

(Chorus)
I said, "You promised to be real" and then you lied
You said, "I never made a promise" and then I sighed
I said, "You promised me love" and then you smiled
You said, "I never made a promise" and then I cried

I remember the battles you fought
To keep other lovers from my thoughts
I remember the whispers in my ears
The ones of love you wished for me to hear

(Chorus)
I said, "You promised to be real" and then you lied
You said, "I never made a promise" and then I sighed
I said, "You promised me love" and then you smiled

You said, "I never made a promise" and then I cried

How can you stand so proud?
You left me broken by the door
In the end you'll come back
And I won't need you anymore
(repeat)

Right here, right now, I crave you in my sleep
The wounds you made in my heart
Couldn't possibly be too deep
You cross my path once in a while
We both smile and wave a hand
If anyone can see the pain I feel I know for sure you can
They say this pain will slip away and fade
I don't know who they're kidding, this isn't my masquerade
I will always love you, I will always care, that will never die
But for now I'll smile in daylight, but under the covers I will cry

(Chorus)
I said, "You promised to be real" and then you lied
You said, "I never made a promise" and then I sighed
I said, "You promised me love" and then you smiled
You said, "I never made a promise" and then I cried
