Promises

Words are cheap, Actions are fake
Words that you used to tell me,
are they all lies and plain sweet-talking?
Promises that you promised me,
are they really meant to be broken?

Attention you used to shower on me,
Promises you used to tell me,
do they left forgotten and faded with time?
do they still holds true till today?

You had eyes for another,
while I only had for you.
In your heart, am I your one and only?
Or am I just a substitute of her place?

You said you loved me and no other
but in your heart, was another woman's face
You promised never to lie
but an empty promise is what you gave

Trust broken, doubts sets in
Her smile lingers in your mind,
your heart longs to be with her
your eyes only had for her

I am nothing compared to her
for in your eyes, it's her you see
Cries of mine you can't hear
for in your ears, it's her voice you hear
Seldom that I will speak,
for your lips speaks of was her
No longer you long for my presence
cos in your heart, it's her presence you need

Slowly and quietly, I am leaving you
Pain and sorrows with me I take
A note by the table,
with my goodbyes
Tears flows from my eyes
as my heart broke into pieces

Tons and tons of sleeping pills I take
Sleeping peacefully by the bed
drifting myself into deep sleep
with my last tears flowing from my eyes
with my last breath to breathe
leaving this world, leaving you
to be with the stars above
Watching over both of you in Angelic wings
Giving my blessings to you from above
Just remember me as an ordinary girl
A girl that loved you once
from the bottom of her broken heart...
