Broken Promises

Broken Promises is an original melancholic rock song written by C. Kilgore The lyrics and guitar are composed and performed by C. Kilgore, while additional production elements were created with the assistance of artificial intelligence. Dark, wounded, and deeply reflective, *Broken Promises* explores the aftermath of betrayal and the lasting damage left when trust collapses. Through images of ruins, shattered glass, ash, silence, and fading echoes, the song follows the struggle to make sense of promises that once meant everything but ultimately proved empty. Rather than focusing only on the moment of betrayal, *Broken Promises* examines what remains afterward—the memories, unanswered questions, and emotional scars that refuse to disappear. 🎵 Written & performed by: C.

Lyrics Truth was a game, you kept all the cards, Fed me your lines and emotional shards. Your eyes held stories you never told, Soft on the surface, but bitter and cold. You played the saint in your crooked display, Now I’m the wreckage you left in your way. I walk through ruins built by trust, Where love has turned to ash and dust. These broken promises still sting, Like shattered glass in everything. The silence cuts, the echoes fade, In hollow halls of dreams decayed. Broken promises buried too deep, Cut through my soul, disturb every sleep. Trust was a spark you let slowly die, Now ashes of love choke every sky. I carry the weight where your whispers lay— Empty vows that still won’t fade away. Now silence is louder than all of your lies, Your memory's poison behind my eyes. I search for meaning, but nothing feels whole, Your cold indifference swallowed me whole. Regret grows thorns where love used to stay, And I bleed in places that won’t fade away.
