I'll keep the promises I never made

Living my curse night and day,
I’m left alone, stranded in the way

Memories haunt me, I can’t deny,
forgetting you is hard, but I try

Never thought what life could bring,
Pain so much for heart to carry in

Faith has crushed, aims no more,
I kept walking with soul so sore

I know what you feel, I do know it all.
When it mattered the most, I didn't answer your call

Words that never been said, secrets that never been told,
A grudge so well kept, and yes I wasn't that bold

I tried my best to keep, the remorse that was inside,

But couldn’t bear the agony, which you were trying to hide

By the time you knew the truth,

There was nothing left at all

No cheers, smiles or laughs

Just tears to drop and fall

And now you might think, I may have no clue,

What you really had, and been going through

As if I never really cared

No time for you to be spared

But what if I tell you, I can count, the cold sighs you alone take

The tears that remained in eyes, the heartbeats for life's sake

But how would you ever know

You can never touch your shadow

You don't ever say it, but I always know

The pain through a heart, your gloomy eyes show

I know I've told you, but you can’t ever leave

The thought of you with me, is all I can believe

Strange it may sound, but few hopes refuse to die

Some dreams still live, though my days have gone by

And now I won't let you lose, the life you sure deserve

The woe of losing you once, is enough for me to preserve

I wish you never have, the tears but of joy

You get the best in life, when you do or don't try

I wish your eyes so beautiful; never ask the question "why?"

They sparkle with hope again, and know not how to cry 

I wish you never have a thought of me again

The lies I told, deceits and the ways I pretend

I wish this for you and even more

Smiles adorn your face like before

And so I turn to dark and let the memories fade

As I have to keep the promises I never made
