You Promised

You promised me you'd be there
You promised me you care
But you up and left me out of of nowhere
I won't wallow in self pity and shame
Because I know I'm not the one to blame
Maybe if you saw what you put me through
An apology wouldn't be so overdue
I'm not going to be under your thumb
Because nowadays I rise and overcome
All the problems
And all the pain
This isn't my loss
It's my gain
You're too too blind to notice
You're too stubborn to care
Maybe if you saw my motive
You'd still be there
As Set It Off once said
"I'm done with all these plastic promises"
