You Promised

You promised me a new dress

You gave me that dress

 

You promised me a cookie

You got me the cookie

 

You promised to take me to the park

You got around to it

 

You promised I could visit again soon

And I did the next year

 

You promised me there was a Santa Clause

And you tried to keep me believing

 

You promised me High School would be fun

Yeah that’s bull

 

You promised me you’d never let anyone hurt me

Yet I still got into fights

 

You promised you’d stay healthy

You lied

 

You promised me you’d live forever

And despite everything

 

 

You still died

Promises so easily made and so easily broken
