You lied to me
You never kept your promise
The promise that has kept me sane
The promise that has kept me alive

You told me that you wouldn’t leave me
You told me you’d be there for me
And yet you lied…

You left me here, alone, all alone
You slipped away from me, taking my life, my solid stone
You were the one that has kept me alive
There is nothing left that binds me now
A letter is all I have…

The letter that I received was blunt and impersonal, so much like you
But at the same time it was caring and personal, also so much like you
I read the letter
Over and over again I read that letter
And the more I read it, the more I understood
You were right when you wrote the last line
You were right when you made that promise
You never left me truly
But in return I have let you down…

Blood dripping of my wrist, not very much to do
Always cutting myself, constantly blaming you
You weren’t there when I did it, you weren’t there were you?
But I was with you when you did it, I was there with you

I was in your mind, somewhere deep down
I was almost next to you, still, in the drugs you wanted to drown
You left me back then, making your promise a lie
But the day I received your letter, I started to wonder why

If I truly meant that much to you, then why did you go
If I truly meant that much to you, you shouldn’t have taken that fatal blow
The blow that made you blanc, rid you of your thoughts
The blow that made you someone else, who didn’t know who I was

I wasn’t there to stop you
It was too late for you too
And after reading this letter over and over again
I find the truth in the words;

”I’ll be watching you”
