Don’t make the mistake I made

Don't Break A Promise

Don’t make the mistake I made

I thought we were meant to be

You said all the right things to me

I played the fool once again

Now my heart will never again unchain

We were made to be together

I should’ve known better

Don't make the mistake I made,

I found that a love was worth losing my mind over,

I found that a love was worth stealing my heart

I thought we were meant to be

We shared a dream like we should be

You helped me when I was at my weakest

And held me when I felt like I would fall

And now I cannot breathe

I cannot sleep

I thought I'd told you everything.

I didn't know that you would give me away,

There's nothing more that I can do,

I can't go back,

I can't go forward,

But I can't collapse

I thought that love would last forever

I gave all I had to you

But now I realize what a waste of time

I built my world around you

Now I'm left with nothing

And I'm in my shame
