Another Broken Promise(Ballad)

V6

[Intro – Soft Piano] [Verse 1 – Fragile, Ashamed] Another broken promise, Another sleepless night. Another song I'm writing, About a wrong I can't right. Words I've held in for so long, That I swore I'd never say. How can something as simple as "I love you" Feel so fucking wrong this way? [Verse 2 – Vulnerable] I saw a memory on my phone, Like I do almost every day. But something felt so different, Like there was something I needed to say. I hadn't told you in so long, And God, I wanted you to hear. Those three words straight from my heart, That I've been holding back in fear. [Pre-Chorus – Building Intensity] Every fiber of my being Was screaming, "Don't you dare." But I was so overwhelmed, By the love that's still in there. And I know my intentions Don't excuse the choice I made. A broken promise is a broken promise, No matter what I say. [Chorus – Painfully Emotional] Another broken promise, Another reason not to trust. How can I ask you to believe me, When my words turn into dust? I was supposed to show you, Not tell you what you know I want to say But how can you believe my words, When my actions don't say the same? Another broken promise, And I'm drowning in the shame. [Verse 3 – Raw, Intensifying] I want to say I'm sorry, Just know that I feel shame. I never said that I was perfect, But I still get flustered by your name. And I fucking love you, God, I wish I'd held my tongue. I wish I'd shown it through my silence, Instead of saying what I'd done. Because love isn't just a feeling, Or the words I want to say. It's respecting what I promised, Even when it hurts to stay away. [Bridge – Explosive, Painfully Intense] How can I say I mean my words, When I went against those very words? How can I ask you to trust me, When I keep giving you reasons to hurt? [Breakdown – Fragile] And I know that I was wrong, Even if my heart was in the right place. I wanted you to hear "I love you," But I should've given you your space. [Build – Desperate] And it feels like I'm dying inside, When I can't tell you what's on my mind. But if my words are ever gonna matter, I've gotta mean them when it's hardest to try. [Final Chorus – Explosive, Heartbreaking] Another broken promise, Another sleepless night. I thought that saying "I love you" For just one moment might make you feel alright. But I was supposed to show you, That my words were worth your trust. And I broke the very promise That was meant to rebuild us. Another broken promise, And there's no one else to blame. [Outro – Whispered, Devastated] I fucking love you. And that's why I should've stayed silent. Another broken promise... I wish I hadn't made.
