You Promised
By Tom Pigeon
Verse 1:
We cast our lines into the water, side by side,
Talking about life, with you as my guide.
Every trip, every journey, every road we'd explore,
Now I walk these paths, but you're here no more.
Verse 2:
You taught me strength, in the face of despair,
With a pat on the back, and a fatherly stare.
When the world seemed bleak, and I lost my way,
Your words were the beacon, that led me to day.
Chorus:
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
The echoes of your words, in my heart they reside.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
With each silent night, it's your presence I've vied.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
Now everything's empty, a void deep inside.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
In every quiet moment, it's your embrace I'm denied.
Verse 3:
On that fateful evening, by your bedside I stood,
Holding onto hope, praying for all that's good.
You whispered of love, of memories we shared,
Promised to be there, showed how much you cared.
Verse 4:
The world keeps turning, but I'm frozen in time,
Recalling our talks, every mountain we'd climb.
The laughter, the tears, the lessons you'd impart,
Now I carry them all, deep within my heart.
Chorus:
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
The echoes of your words, in my heart they reside.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
With each silent night, it's your presence I've vied.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
Now everything's empty, a void deep inside.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
In every quiet moment, it's your embrace I'm denied.
Verse 5:
I see you in sunsets, in the waves of the sea,
In the rustling leaves, in the wind blowing free.
Every corner I turn, every shadow I see,
Is a reminder of times, when it was just you and me.
Verse 6:
Though the pain is immense, and the tears often flow,
There's a hope deep within, that continues to grow.
For in every heartbeat, in every song's tune,
I feel your presence, like a comforting moon.
Chorus:
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
The echoes of your words, in my heart they reside.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
With each silent night, it's your presence I've vied.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
Now everything's empty, a void deep inside.
"You said you'd always be there for me, but you lied,"
In every quiet moment, it's your embrace I'm denied.
Coda:
Though the world feels so cold, and the nights seem so long,
In my heart I believe, to you I still belong.
Till the day we reunite, in the heavens above,
I'll cherish our moments, and the depth of your love.
