Promise Until the End

Prelude

Two a.m. shadows, staring at my own face

Words I never said, they haunt an empty space

Old messages saved, playin' on a cracked phone

Tryin' to piece together all the love that's gone

Rap Verse

Streetlights flicker through memories I replay

Regret in my veins, wishing I could run away

Frost on the window, pain colder inside

Father said be strong, but all I do is hide

Silent prayers for miracles I know won’t come

Stuck in my pride, watchin' what I’ve become

Once had a future that wore your name so clear

Now I chase your ghost through every single tear

Intro

Yeah, I did it again, pain still clingin',

Apologies rainin', what was I thinkin'?

Verse 1

I guess I did it again, tripped over pride,

Left a good lady lonely, tears I can't hide,

That ring felt cold, empty on the nightstand,

My mind a battlefield, story never as planned,

Promises I broke, now they haunt what remains,

Sorry Selena, couldn't weather the rain,

All the late nights, all the words I should've held,

Now your silence—man, it's louder than I ever felt,

Chorus

I messed up a good lady, lost here we go again,

Should've cherished more, should've been a better man,

Apologize, let the misbelief descend,

Sorry Selena, you was my wife, my best friend,

Verse 2

828 Buckshot stamped in my mind,

Days slipping by, can't press rewind,

Wish I had the words, wish I had more time,

Wrapped in regret, punishment fits the crime,

Turned my back on the vow I swore to defend,

Till death do us part, yeah, now it all ends,

No more soft hands, no sweet goodnight,

Just an empty side of the bed and a cold porch light,

Chorus

I messed up a good lady, lost here we go again,

Should've cherished more, should've been a better man,

Apologize, let the misbelief descend,

Sorry Selena, you was my wife, my best friend,

Bridge

Pages I tore, written with my mistakes

Every line bleeds, every memory aches

Watching your laugh fade out in my mind

No verse or rhyme could get back lost time

Rap Outro

Footsteps echo where love used to be

Carrying regret like chains nobody sees

Dreams in the rearview, faded with the night

Told myself lies, pretending it’s alright

Buckshot to my hope, 828 on my chain

Selena, if you hear me, know I hold all the blame

This story don’t end, I just walk through the pain

Shadow of my promise, tattooed with your name

Outro

Sorry doesn’t fix what’s said and done

Empty house, empty bed—lost everyone

All we built now dust in my hands

But you were my heart, Selena, my life unplanned
