Cut Too Deep

142 19 10
                                    

You cut too deep
Enough to hide your lies beneath your skin
Engraving your broken promises into bone
Out of some constant fear of being alone
It is all you know
So you assume which way to go
Because to your knowledge you are doing what is right
Yet you fail to realize what lies ahead is out of sight
You do not know everything
You cannot answer every question
Solve every problem
Because in reality
There is not a solution to everything
You do what you can, and move on
Move forward, walk ahead
And refrain from making promises you cannot keep
Because when you break them
You'll eventually cut too deep
