Broken Promises (Afro-pop / Nigerian soul vibe, emotional, heartfelt, with a catchy hook) Verse 1 Raised voices in the midnight rain Hush words leaving permanent stains Every sentence burning like fire Every apology coming too late Maybe I was too loud with forever Painted pictures I couldn’t deliver Promised you a palace in the sky Then watched our dream slowly die And when you cried, I took too long To pull you close where you belong Too proud to listen, too hurt to see The pain you carried silently Now every room remembers us Every silence making noise enough Pre-Hook Oh, love can build and love can break Two hearts drowning in mistakes Still your name lives on my tongue Even after all we’ve done Hook We’re two broken people, loving in pieces Holding on while the feeling decreases Can’t stay together, can’t stay apart You still got the keys to my heart Two broken people, chasing old promises Trying to heal from the same kind of damages You call my phone, I say “leave me alone” Then I miss you before the dial tone Oh-oh-oh-oh Why do I still need you now? Oh-oh-oh-oh If we both hurt, who will bow? Verse 2 Toxic, toxicity We all need love, but this is atrocity Femininity meets masculinity Yet no one wins in this reality I must attest as a man tonight I’m not strong enough to fight for you And fight with you at the same time Some battles don’t deserve survivors You wanted peace, I wanted pride Both of us had wounds to hide Someone had to bend somehow But neither of us knew how So we kept throwing stones through glass Wondering why our future never lasts Pre-Hook Oh, every war leaves scars behind And every scar rewrites the mind Still I see your face in crowds Even when I say I’m moving on Hook We’re two broken people, loving in pieces Holding on while the feeling decreases Can’t stay together, can’t stay apart You still got the keys to my heart Two broken people, chasing old promises Trying to heal from the same kind of damages You call my phone, I say “leave me alone” Then I miss you before the dial tone Oh-oh-oh-oh Why do I still need you now? Oh-oh-oh-oh If we both hurt, who will bow? Nigerian Afro-Pop Bridge Baby no go, baby no leave My heart dey bleed, my heart dey bleed You say make I stay, then you say make I free Tell me which road lead to peace? Ọmọ, this love no be small thing Every memory still dey sing Even when the fire don cold Your shadow still dey hold me If na pride, make we bury am If na pain, make we carry am Cause two wounded souls in the dark Still dey search for the same spark Final Hook We’re two broken people, loving in pieces Holding on while the feeling decreases Maybe forever ain’t what we planned But I’m still reaching for your hand Two broken people, under one sky Saying goodbye, then asking why If love is gone, why are we here? Still finding you every year Oh-oh-oh-oh Maybe love is learning how Oh-oh-oh-oh For both our hearts to finally bow Two broken people… Still loving through the cracks… Two broken people… Trying to find our way back… 🎵
