"Your broken promises"
Jean-Paul VERNERET

4/9/2025

Your broken promises, a shattered glass
On the cold floor, everything is destroyed
Silence echoes, heavier than your words
A frozen breath runs across my skin
A broken future where tomorrow fades away
I search in vain for the warmth of your hands

Chorus
Between your lies and my truths
I lose my voice, I can’t scream anymore
You left me alone by the side of the road
Only ashes remain in my hands

Bridge
Erase the wounds,
To rekindle hope
Lost in the dark,
Without light or mirror
But the page is crumpled,
The book is tightly closed

Regrets advance, devouring the night
Every step reminds me of what we flee
Your absent glances, shards of iron
A world collapses, my heart exposed
I hold back my words, but everything betrays me
Your shadow lingers, it haunts my life

Chorus
Between your lies and my truths
I lose my voice, I can’t scream anymore
You left me alone by the side of the road
Only ashes remain in my hands

Bridge
Erase the wounds,
To rekindle hope
Lost in the dark,
Without light or mirror
But the page is crumpled,
The book is tightly closed

The night whispers there will be no more "us"
Tomorrow tears apart, I exist only in a blur
