[Intro – spoken + ambient violin]
(low piano note, distant violin)
You said forever…
But forever… didn’t stay…
(violin slowly rises)
Now I’m left… with broken promises…
[Verse 1 – soft piano]
I remember how you held me close
Like you’d never let me go
Every word you said felt like forever
Now it’s just an echo
All the dreams we built together
Falling piece by piece
I’m standing in the silence
Where your love used to be
[Pre-Chorus – tension]
How did we go from everything
To strangers overnight…
[Chorus – emotional release]
Broken promises, scattered on the floor
Every “I love you” don’t mean a thing no more
You said you’d stay, you swore you’d never leave
Now I’m the one still begging you to believe
Broken promises, tearing me apart
Left me with the pieces of a shattered heart
I gave you all, but it was never enough
Now I’m drowning in your broken love
[Verse 2 – deeper emotion]
Every place we used to go
Feels like it’s frozen in time
I still see your shadow next to mine
But you’re no longer mine
Was it all just an illusion
Something we couldn’t keep?
Or did you just stop choosing
The love you promised me?
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to hold on tight
But you were already gone…
[Chorus – fuller, violin rises]
Broken promises, scattered on the floor
Every “I love you” don’t mean a thing no more
You said you’d stay, you swore you’d never leave
Now I’m the one still begging you to believe
[Bridge – quiet → powerful]
(piano only, almost whisper)
Was I just a moment…
You were passing through?
(violin builds)
Or was I the only one
Who thought it all was true…
[Final Chorus – big, emotional peak]
Broken promises, echo in my soul
Every lie you told is taking its toll
You said forever, but forever lied
Now I’m learning how to say goodbye
Broken promises… I let you go
Even if it hurts more than you’ll ever know…
[Outro – soft, haunting]
(piano + fading violin)
You said forever…
But forever… let me go…
