Promises

You handed me a plate-full of blame 

You took me to the buffet 

I ate and ate despite the repulsive taste 

Left nauseated and bloated with regret 

I gave you the key and you opened the doors 

You learned of by heart 

My weaknesses and flaws 

You learned exactly what I needed and craved 

You became my hero 

As what I needed and craved is what you gave 

You wrapped me up in cotton wall

Ate my heart 

and dug me heartless into my grave 

Playing chess with my weaknesses 

That way you would be sure that I caved 

Now I am the crazy one 

Left with nothing at all 

I wore my heart on my sleeve 

I guess he had a radar for fool's 

I have never felt such fool 

Our pinkies made heartfelt promises 

Each one he continued you to break 

I tried to embrace the betrayal and pretend it didn't hurt 

When he snapped my fingers 

His promises smiled and his smile was fake 

Promises made 

Promises lead to heartbreak
