Empty Promises

For so long
It was me helping you
For so long
You were the child
You brought pain
You brought tears
You brought many days
Of empty promises
I grew and grew
I out-grew you
It's hard to see
A little you in me
Time has passed
Things have changed
You have aged
But you're still the same
There is someone new
In our lives
Another little one
To start anew with
But yet again
You prove the same
And I'm still left
with pain
tears
and empty promises
