don't promise me sunshine when you can't even bring me rain

I'd like to think that you wouldn't be bringing another set of scars for me to wear, but maybe a beautiful set of sunrise smiles and hope that renews my mind. Why am I always so wrong? I think it's more painful when you get your hopes up and then, when the truth is revealed, you were so very incorrect that it's painful to see just how far from the truth it is.

So, why are you still here? Do you think hanging your promises on crescent moons and painting "I love you"'s in the skies will do any good? Maybe at one time, yeah it would have. However, this time you are just filling my days with reasons why I have an empty heart and no room for forgiveness.

And quite frankly,

I don't like who you've made me to be.
