Promises in the Dark

We fell in love in the little hours

Counting down the days, making room for hours

You held my hand like you meant forever

Said we'd be a team, said we were the whatever

I gave you my time, I gave you my trust

Watched your sweet words turn into dust

You said you'd do better, you said it so clear

But that never came when I needed you near

And we brought our baby into this life

Tiny little smile, sleepless nights

I kept the pace while you drifted away

Another promise broke at the end of the day

I gave you my time, I gave you my trust

Watched your sweet words turn into dust

You said you'd do better, you said it so clear

But better never came when I needed you near

Now you say you didn't try to make time for your son

Like that confession erases what you've done

I'm left with the weight of the years you refused

Love can survive on the promises you lose

I gave it my time

I gave you my trust

Watched your sweet words turn into dust

You said you'd do better

You said it so clear

But then another came when I needed you near
