Broken Promises
Heartland Echoes

Verse 1:
     G                   D
I gave you everything I could,
      Em              C
My heart, my soul, misunderstood,
     G               D
You took my love and turned it 'round,
      Em                   C
Breaking me, without a sound.

Chorus:
    G                   D
Broken promises and shattered dreams,
Am                     C
Echoes of your anger and my silent screams,
       G                  D
I stood by you through it all,
      C              D
Only to watch myself fall.

Verse 2:
     G                   D
Every tear I cried for you,
      Em                C
Hoping someday you'd see it through,
    G                     D
But darkness covered up the light,
    Em                  C
In this endless, painful fight.

Chorus:
    G                   D
Broken promises and shattered dreams,
Am                     C
Echoes of your anger and my silent screams,
       G                  D
I stood by you through it all,
      C              D
Only to watch myself fall.

Bridge:
     Am                  Em
I walked on eggshells, feared your wrath,
      C                    G
Praying love would find its path,
     Am                    Em
But bruises hide beneath my skin,
        C                D
Masking all the hurt within.

Chorus:
    G                   D
Broken promises and shattered dreams,
Am                     C
Echoes of your anger and my silent screams,
       G                  D
I stood by you through it all,
      C              D
Only to watch myself fall.

Outro:
     G                    D
Now I’m picking up the pieces,
      Em                C
Learning how to heal these creases,
        G                     D
One day I’ll find a love that’s true,
          Em           C
But for now, I'll say goodbye to you.
