you promised never to make me cry;
promised never to say goodbye.
you stared me down with eyes so blue
and painfully said, "i bid you ado."

and i thought at night that you'd come home
but as i sat, compulsively, checking my phone
i realized- it's true, you're finally gone,
tired of singing my sad broken song.

so i turned to the bottle to wash down my pain,
but it didn't succeed in numbing my brain.
when i closed my eyes i only saw you,
staring me down with eyes so blue.
