Broken Promises

Promise me, we will still be in love, years from now.
Promise me that you kiss my tears away when I cry.
Promise me that some nights, you'll let me hold you the way you do me.
Promise me that I won't leave because I feel I should leave.

Promise me that you will still love me years from now.
Promise me that you won't stay strong when you want to cry.
Promise me that some nights, when I am holding you in my arms, that you won't take fright and that it won't feel wrong.
Promise me that you will make sure I stay, because you want me to stay.

Promise me that one day we'll get married.
Promise me that one day, our tears will be of joy.
Promise me that one day, we will cradle our children together at night.
Promise me that one day, we will be together for the rest of our lives.

When you break your promise of loving me forever,
When you break your promise that everything will be alright,
When you break your promise of cuddling me every night,
And when you break your promise saying forever sounds right,
I won't be mad at you,
I will wallow in grief for a while.
Promises were meant to be broken,
Just don't break them later, break them
