Yes! I get it, I broke my promise,
But aren't we all humans.
Yes! I get it, I gave up on us,
But you gave up on me first.
Yes! I get it, I turned my face away,
And I tried being better but you changed.
I've own up to my lies,
I've been apologizing since.
I've given up on us but not on you,
I tried showing you that I'll get better.
I've lost my self respect to earn yours,
All I needed was you to see me.
But you didn't, and you broke all your promises,
You left me with my scars exposed.
Now whose the betrayer now?
