PROMISES AND LIES

 

There is something in the way you look at me

For there is a change in my eyes

My well of hope is nearly all but dried

All you’ve left me

Are promises and lies

Only promises and lies

 

It’s a mystery to me

Why you treat my heart so recklessly

Tell me why should I try to believe

In all your promises and lies

Only promises and lies

 

You preach at me your gilded tales

Your words flow like liquid sun

Your shameless gospel

Burns inside my head

While the rest of me has just gone numb

 

It’s a mystery to me

How you live your life so carelessly

Tell me why should I try to believe

In all your promises and lies

Only promises and lies

 

You say that you are not the enemy

And claim that you are not the cause

But there is many a day

That still goes by

That I mourn the innocence I’ve lost

 

It’s a mystery to me

How you live your life so conscience-free

Tell me why should I try to believe

All your promises and lies

It’s a mystery to me

How you treat my heart so recklessly

Tell me why should I try to forgive

All your promises and lies

Only promises and lies
