If You Meant It

You said forever like a promise

But it cracked before the ink

I held your words like scripture

Till they pushed me to the brink

I replay the way you said it

Like it meant something to you

But every time I bleed

It feels less like the truth

If you meant it

Why'd you let it die so slow

Why'd you leave me in the echo

Of a love you wouldn't show

If you meant it

Why'd you twist it into shame

You left that promise in the open

Then forgot you ever came

I built a shrine from memories

But the candles won't stay lit

I keep asking for a reason

But you never gave me it

You said I was your always

But you never stayed for mine

Now I'm drowning in the silence

Of a love you left behind

If you meant it

Why'd you let it die so slow

Why'd you leave me in the echo

Of a love you wouldn't show

If you meant it

Why'd you twist it into shame

You left that promise in the open

Then forgot you ever came
