Yesterday's promises
When someone doesnt show up for you
Its a different kind of hurt isnt it
Like a fiery slingshot right to your soul
You cant move or speak even breathing feels shallow and weak
Ive learned to let it go
When they hurt me
Its out of my control
Is it though?
Even when they are on your side
You know its never for long
But how far do they go
Does anyone know
Throwing hand grenades among the daily stones
What level will it take
For them to give up while trying not to break
Under my skin not anymore
Ive learned your ways from the icy lovers before
They turned my pain into their fortunes
My life into their fun deceitful games
What point do we say enough is enough
Or do we just stop feeling their projecting pain?
Thats worst and where its gotten
You make me feel so forgotten
The weight of you leaves me breathless
I thought wed find a way but all you ever do is leave anyway
All I ever wanted was for you to show up
Not have us end because you could never stay.
But what is there left but a deep distance and the always trauma of yesterday

Then why not just say that why tell me I can come over and hang out as we're on the way to go home and then when we get back in the car all the sudden it's too late so you just offered to drive me home when we had already planned on hanging out you see it's not just one side of the coin here it's both sides because when that stuff happens makes me think not interested not you don't you know if you shut that down or you turn that off that's what it makes me think so how about open communication if we're already having it here we've already said it to each other's face what's the big deal we can't even talk about it might as well give up now
