They hold me down where I'm all alone

The letters you wrote they tattered now

But I can't let go I don't know how

Each vow we made a fragile red

Now lies in pieces where my heart has bled

The dust still holds your faded note

A paperweight promise that chokes my throat

I trusted your words but they turned to dust

A fleeting hope that betrayed my trust

Oh why do your promises weigh me down

A heavy load where my heart's been bound

Paperweight promises they crush my chest

A love I believed now laid to rest

You were my truth my heart's only guide

Now I'm lost where your vows have died

Oh oh

I'm breaking in

Oh

The nights are cold the days unkind

Your words still echo in my mind

The ring you gave is tarnished now

A hollow symbol of a broken vow

I see your face in the candle's glow

But it fades away where the shadows grow

I walk the streets where we planned our life

But now they're paved with my endless strife

I trusted your words but they turned to dust

A fleeting hope that betrayed my trust

Paperweight promises they crush my chest

A love I believe now lay to rest

You were my truth my heart's only guide

Now I'm lost where your vows die

I scream your name but the wind's too strong

My heart's a ruin where I don't belong

Were your words just ink that was meant to fade

Now I'm buried where our love was made

Your promises hold me but they can't save

A heart that's sinking in a lonely grave

Heavy weight promises they won't let go

A heavy ache where my heart still flows

Heavy weight promises they crush my chest

A love I believe not laid to rest
