Life doesn't change.
It has it's ways to stay the same
when you're the first to the hook on the line every time.
You were riddled with shame;
restless and followed by a constant rain
on your search for someone to confide in before you tired.
He came depraved;
desperate and searching for someone to "save."
And as quickly as he had arrived you let him inside.
Because you wanted anyone with anything
to stop all the horror from taking you farther
But now he's gone and all your hope is lost.
The change you thought he'd bring never was coming despite all the promising.
I'm promising.
Life doesn't wait
when you're unwillingly caught in the wake
of someone that once had relied on every night.
He couldn't explain
why it was that road he wanted to take
but you smiled; said you didn't mind and he took that ride.
Because you wanted anyone with anything;
a blueprint to save you or any escape route.
But now he's gone and all your hope is lost.
The change you thought he'd bring never was coming despite all..
The promises he made wouldn't replace or remain
because he only wanted you following.
You wanted anyone with anything;
a place worth embracing that you could feel safe in.
But now he's gone and all your hope is lost.
The change you thought he'd bring never was coming despite all...
The promises he made wouldn't replace or remain.
But you never saw it; his door was revolving.
So all of your problems, no, he won't be solving them.
I'm promising.
