Promised Myself (It Was Done)

Mending fences I never saw as broken
Muting words that should've been spoken
Keeping to myself what it was I truly thought

I wish now that I had said my peace
Followed my heart, had this whole thing cease
I was almost out but now all I seem is caught

I wonder who I did it for
Me or her or the other one
I came back not wanting anymore
Promised myself it was done

Opening lines I wanted to keep frayed
Only pay debts that had to be payed
Left there there where I thought it had to be

On second thought I should've kept hid
Stood with the plan instead of what I did
This close to freedom but now it's harder to flee

I wonder who I did it for
Me or her or the other one
I came back not wanting anymore
Promised myself it was done

Reading letters I hoped to keep sealed
Tasting emotions I didn't want revealed
Hoping to wrestle all the memories to a standstill

Too late now to ever get it all back
I made it too easy to follow my tracks
Climbed to the top but now see the rest is downhill

I wonder who I did it for
Me or her or the other one
I came back not wanting anymore
Promised myself it was done

Go on to I Don't
