you didn't promise

cold winds blow 
down from the snowy peaks
rain hits panes, 
the day looks bleak 
a day like today 
is good for searching souls
and finally coming to grips 
with what I know

I know you didn't promise, 
a future rosy bright 
I know you didn't promise, 
more than just one night 
I know you didn't promise, 
not to break my heart 
I know that you now know, 
I fell and fell real hard

all these realizations 
and the heartache that it brings 
it's not like I sit and dwell 
on buried, useless things
it's not like I'm not trying 
to give my heart away 
it's just feelings that come fleeting
almost every day

there, it's finally out there, 
I've written how I feel
it doesn't make it better 
or make it seem less real 
you didn't offer a promise 
but left me wanting more 
told me your heart's longing
to one you met before 

I know you didn't promise, 
a future rosy bright 
I know you didn't promise, 
more than just one night 
I know you didn't promise, 
not to break my heart 
I know that you now know, 
I fell and fell real hard
