Promises

Remember how we used to be?
Remember how you promised me
That life would always be good?
Oh, you forget the fact you lied to me?
You locked my heart and threw the key
I'm so misunderstood, oh

What to say when all the words have gone?
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown?
Promises, promises

Remember how I gave my heart
And, all at once, we fell apart?
Was I supposed to forgive you?
Oh, you forgot the fact you said to me
That we were for eternity
You're so easy to see through, oh

What to say when all the words have gone? (Words have gone)
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown? (Thoughts have flown)
Promises, promises

Remember that I'm over you
And know that I will make it through
Hope you never forget it
Oh, the promises you made to me
Were really lies and fantasy
Hope you come to regret it, oh

What to say when all the words have gone? (Words have gone)
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown? (Thoughts have flown)
Promises, promises

The promises we used to keep have gone (have gone)
And with them, all the words
That kept us both from seeing what was wrong (so wrong)
The rest is silence

What to say when all the words have gone? (Words have gone)
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown? (Thoughts have flown)
Promises, promises

What to say when all the tears have dried? (Tears have dried)
Promises, promises
What to think when all our love has died? (Love has died)
Promises (ah-ah), promises
