Broken Soft Promises - Aliza
You said it in a whisper tone
Like it was carved in stone
A whisper fading in the wind
And now I'm here again
You finagled straight my hand
Said you'd always understand
Every fear I tried to hide
You promised to stay by my side
Meaningless talking when you were there
You swore you'd never change
But forever turned to maybe
And maybe drove me crazy
These broken, soft promises
Still linger on my lips
Gentle words that felt so true
Now I feel like deja vu
These broken, soft promises
Retains in the innocence
You didn't have to scream
To tear apart my dreams
Photos smiling on my phone
Proof I wasn't alone
But every picture feels staged
Like a love misplayed
You moved on without a bruise
Like there wasn't anything to lose
I'm still holding every lie
This whole was yours and I
Maybe I believed too much
In the warmth of your touch
Maybe soft can still deceive
When you want to believe
These broken, soft promises
Still linger on my lips
Gentle words that felt so true
Now I feel like deja vu
These broken, soft promises
Retains in the innocence
You didn't have to scream
To tear apart my dreams
No loud goodbye, no sudden end
Just words that couldn't mend
Left with quiet consequences
Of broken, soft promises
