"Without a Promise"

(an excerpt from my original song) Lyrics by: Allysa Mae Labuyo Verse 1 You said things you didn't mean, Laughed like it was just routine Got too close, then took a step away You lit a match, then ran from the flame And I'm still standing here Trying not to disappear Pre-Chorus You said “I’m sorry,” like that heals the hole But I’ve been quiet, carrying it all alone Chorus I loved you without a promise Without knowing if you’d stay Held your name like a secret That I whispered every day And you don’t owe me forever But I deserved to know the truth 'Cause I was real, even when You didn’t know what to do
