Promises That Died

Verse 1

I trusted every word you said,

While you were hiding things instead.

Your promises became my chains,

Your love left nothing but the pain.

I wear a smile, but underneath,

There’s something dying when I breathe.

The darkness crawls beneath my skin,

And every night, it pulls me in.

Pre-Chorus

I scream, but no one hears the sound,

I’m falling while I’m standing ground.

The person I was fades away,

A little more with every day.

Chorus

I’m fading, fading into black,

All the lies keep pulling me back.

I scream until my voice is gone,

But the darkness keeps dragging on.

It consumes the light inside of me,

Turns my heart into a memory.

I’m screaming, but I’m fading away—

Lost in the darkness you made.

Verse 2

Your lies still echo in my head,

Like every word you never meant.

I gave you pieces of my soul,

Now I don’t know how to be whole.

The mirror shows a stranger’s eyes,

A ghost beneath the fading light.

I reach for who I used to be,

But she’s disappearing inside me.

Bridge

Can anybody hear me now?

I’m screaming underneath these clouds.

I don’t want to disappear,

But I’m so tired of living here.

If there’s a light beneath this pain,

Please let me find myself again.

Final Chorus

I’m fading, fading into black,

But I won’t let the darkness have me back.

I screamed until my voice was gone,

I cried until the night moved on.

The darkness consumed what I couldn’t save,

But somewhere underneath the pain,

A little piece of me remains—

Still breathing through the rain.

Outro

I screamed…

I faded…

But I’m still here.
