I swore that i would never
ever break your heart
but i have done exactly that
and its tearing me apart
it was a little choice
that became a big mistake
the seeds of hope that were planted
grew into feelings that were fake
i promised that i would wait
for you to come home to me
i did phenomenally for so long
why couldnt he have let me be
the sight of your face grew hazy
as you were not so near
i wanted to be with you so badly
but he was actually here
with every word he spoke
i fell further into his web of lies
but i still kept my promise
despite his incessant tries
the love that i have for you
helped me to stand strong
if not for the hope that i have for us
i'd have thought you were long gone
