You Let Go

You promised that you won't let me go
I promised I won't let you go
And then you let me go
With you face down low
I'm so confused and all alone
I'm diving deep into the unknown
My heart is bruised and crumbled
And my love for you is gone oh

How do I mend my heart
How do I even start
The pain you caused inside
So intertwined
It's really messing my mind
I feel so ashamed
With no one else to blame
I'll never be the same again.
