Empty Promises

Just for tonight I’ll find someone who makes me forget I’m alive
Someone who takes away the feelings that only demons can describe

You sent me off like a wildflower in the wind
As if you had to dispel a flesh eating sin
And now you’re calling to me, wondering if you made a mistake
And you say that your heart is beginning to break

There’s nothing I can do when you won’t even help yourself
Do you really expect me to wait for you and live my life alone?

All your empty promises are just meaningless once the sugar-high wears off
And I can’t stand the prison of remorse you have trapped me in without you
You never tell me your soul’s truth

I am not so foolish as to believe that I would ever forget the nights we shared
But I am lonely enough to try to forget that I ever cared

It was always your choice because I am always weakened with pleasure
At the sound of your voice
And the void here is painfully obvious
But traces of you are perversely present
And I just wish you would figure out what you want
Instead of always having one eye on the door
Just hold me forever like you promised to…before…

But let that be in our past
I want you to come to me and fast
Because only you can give me reason to be alive
I’m sick of these lonely nights
Take away this disease from my bitter mind
And replace it with your hand in mine
Stay with me and make me believe
That you’ll never leave

It’s not an ultimatum
Because I’m not saying,
“Make a decision or I’m done”
It’s honesty like you asked for
I don’t want anyone else tonight
So if you want to be with me,
Put up a fight and prove to me everything is going to be all right.
