promises must only be words (but i swore you said them)

if there's one thing we all do it's make empty promises; a promise that is meaningless and will never happen. we do this to promise oneself that our words we speak will be spoken into existent -newsflash, they don't- empty promises leave our souls aching, wanting that promise to be sincere even when we know it's not. if there's one thing i learnt from making an empty promise it's don't make a promise you can't carry out, unless you want to end up with a broken heart like Harry Styles.
