Broken Promise

Friendship here never lasts too long
The closer to heart, the further away
If you ever find your soulmate close
Do what you can to make them stay
Once they disappear, its hard to look back
Harder to look forward in the face of it all
Cuz once your heart falls ain't nothing the same
The pain is an avalanche then you'll be saying...

I know I promised that I'd stay in touch
Even saying that, it ain't saying much
I swear I tried to answer you when you call
But there's so many deadlines I cannot keep track of them all
And after all, I've been struggling, hustling now
Busking to crowds, I meddle with sounds
But I can't stop, won't stop 'till it is right
I promised to visit, but I just can't tonight

And I don't even call anymore
We used to hang out every day of the week
We used to have bonfires roasting s'mores
Now I don't even know your favorite food to eat
I guess we really fell apart
I feel like I'm alone again
"No matter how deep the darkness, a light shines within"

That's what I always use to say
But we haven't spoken in a while, God knows
We said best friends forever
Now it feels like we were never close
I'm a ghost of the person that I was before
If we reunited now it would hurt me the most
I never been good at staying around
Cuz nobody ever stayed when I needed them close, but

When I feel lonely, I think of what you said
Our hearts are still connected, you're still my deepest friend
I keep you in my memory, I keep you in my heart
And even through the distance, we're never far apart
Sometimes I feel your presence, coursing through these lines
And even when we pass, there's no reason to cry
Cuz at the end of it all, our passion will shine through
"Wherever you go, I'm always with you"
With you

And it's funny, cuz even if you called me now
I'm not even sure if I would even pick up the phone
And we used to be chill back in high school but
I got some new people that give me the feeling of home
So go and chase the fame like I knew you would do
And don't ever come back to see me again
You're a sellout, soul fell out of it's melanin tin
The friendship between us is meeting it's end

And its crazy, I still think about you every day
Remember moments that we laughed and the games we would play
Remember promises that we always swore we would keep
Forgetting all of that is a pain that you forced upon me
I tried to block out all the memories of you
But they always come back when they mention your name
And it hurts me to see how far that you've come
I guess success is the price that you pay for the pain

When I feel lonely, I think of what you said
Our hearts are still connected, you're still my deepest friend
I keep you in my memory, I keep you in my heart
And even through the distance, we're never far apart
Sometimes I feel your presence, coursing through these lines
And even when we pass, there's no reason to cry
Cuz at the end of it all, our passion will shine through
Our friendship has changed the world, the energy finds you so

When you feel lonely, just think of what I said
Our hearts are still connected, I'm still your deepest friend
You'll keep me in your memory, You'll keep me in your heart
And even through that distance, we're never far apart
Sometimes you'll feel my presence, coursing through these lines
And even when we pass, there's no reason to cry
Because at the end of it all, our passion will shine through
Our friendship has changed the world, the energy finds you so

Even though now we are growing apart
The art in our heart still wants to connect
Even though family leaves damaging scars
There once was a time when we called our self friends
The light from our loved ones buried at rest
Shines in our minds as we reach for our goals
No matter the distance we feel on Earth
The love that we felt still lives in our soul

Even though now we are growing apart
The art in our heart still wants to connect
Even though family leaves damaging scars
There once was a time when we called our self friends
The light from our loved ones buried at rest
Shines in our minds as we reach for our goals
No matter the distance we feel on Earth
The love that we felt still lives in our soul

"I'll come back to you....I promise!"
