Verse 1 You promised. You’d be there. You promised you’d stay. Never leave. Love me. Love me. I saw a crow in the road today. Limped around — foot curled. Wings tattered. Looked wilted. Kept getting chased by a blue jay. Kept creeping back. Trying again. To win. I threw my sandwich to him. He snatched it. And flew. Away. Just like you. ⸻ Chorus You promised you’d always be there. You’d stay. Never leave. Love me. Love me. Now you claim You never really loved me. Never really cared. Felt an obligation To pretend. ⸻ Verse 2 What happened to How you feel? What took— I’m not gonna argue. I’m not going to fight. I’m just trying to process. Won’t be polite. I’ll say what I mean. And mean what I say. Then let it go. Then let it go. ⸻ You’re already gone. Left a long time ago. Really. Why. Should. I. Be surprised? ⸻ I always knew. I always knew. But I’m better than this. I deserve more. Honesty. Kindness. Truth. Loyalty. Love. Love. ⸻ You promised. You promised. You promised you’d be there— You said you’d stay. Never leave. Love me. Love me. Now I’ve changed. I’m different now. Things will never be the same. I can love me. I can— Love me.
