"I Was Just Another Promise You Couldn't Keep" lyrics

What if you were but a gift
To my estranged and miserable heart
Would you guide me back to times of grace?
Where I felt sheltered, where I still felt alive?!

You were the most important chapter
In the book of my life
You were the summit
I was almost there
But now my heart is broken
And yours seem broken too
Don't promise me forever
If you never meant to

You gave up on me
Way easier I gave up on myself
You forgot me so quickly
I'm pretty sure you never cared
But the past is like an anchor
The past's the greatest fall-apart
A hole filled with gunpowder in my chest
Where once, once was a heart

And you will search for me
In the arms of another stranger
You will search for me
Not eventually, that's a fucking promise

So when did we lose sight?
Fuck, we used to be so close
And now you became
The main source of my pain
And I don't know how to live on
Or make it go away
And I don't know how to live on
Or make it go away

I wanna be the pain in your paintings
I wanna be the tempest in your words
I wanna be young love, too vague to insist
I wanna be your poem of solitude and grief

You were the most important chapter
In the book of my life
You were the summit
I was almost there

You gave up on me
Way easier I gave up on myself
You forgot me so quickly
I'm pretty sure you never cared
But the past is like an anchor
The greatest fall-apart
A hole filled with gunpowder in my chest
Where once was a heart

Just once I'd like to be the poem
And not again its fucking poet
I was just another promise you couldn't keep
Burn everything that bears my name

Cause nothing will ever be louder
Than the silence between two people
That once pretended to love each other
And were ready to see the world burn
