Original Sad" Song—"You Promised Me a Sunrise"
(Lyrics by me — for Yumi's death and Akiro's grief)
🎶 You Promised Me a Sunrise
[Verse 1]You told me love was quiet,Not the screaming kind.I held you like a secretThe world would never find.But morning came without you,And the sky forgot to burn,So now I talk to shadowsAnd wait for your return.
[Chorus]You promised me a sunrise,But all I got was rain.You said that I'd be stronger,But I just learned your nameIn every echo,In every pause,In everything I lost.You promised me a sunrise—But the light came at a cost.
[Verse 2]You left your sketchbook open,Like maybe I could readThe parts of you that stayed behindWhen your body chose to leave.But paper isn't breathing,And ink can't touch my skin.So I trace the places we once wereAnd draw where we had been.
[Chorus]You promised me a sunrise,But all I got was rain.You kissed me like forever,Then vanished with my name.Now every hourAnd every bruiseJust tells me how I lose.You promised me a sunrise—But I'm still searching for the truth.
[Bridge]Would you still love meIf I faded too?Would you stay in the silenceThe way I stayed for you?
[Final Chorus]You promised me a sunrise,But baby, I still bleedFor something I believed inMore than I believed in me.I wear your hoodie,I sing your song,But darling, you were wrong—You promised me a sunrise…And I've been dying all along.
