Lyrics August Burns Red

August Burns Red

Broken Promises

You've given up on us

You've taken all I've made and all I've become

You've given up on us

Just another empty promise by those I love

Pushing me down flat on the ground trying to escape the pain

I needed you to meet me half way, but I'm left abandoned with nothing more to say

I thought family was forever

I thought family stuck together

What's done is done

I'm too far gone

I've never felt so alone

Accept what you've done and rise to the challenge (rise to the challenge)

Stop pointing the blame

There's no on left to betray

You're full of broken promises

These days are dark, filled with heavy clouds pouring on me

I'll keep giving while you keep taking, as my trust in you is breaking

I see now my sacrifice got left by the wayside

You've given up on us

You've taken all I've made and all I've become

You've given up on us

Just another empty promise by those I love

Put your arms in the air

Just another empty promise by those I love

Prove your worth, and part the sky for me
