Broken Promises

Tonight you're leavin'
And it's goodbye.
Our fool in loves not strong.
How will I tell my heart that.
Broken words, broken promises.
Cause broken hearts.
I really love you.
And I still do.
Our love was make believe.
And now I plainly see that.
Broken words, broken promises.
Cause broken hearts
Don't you remember?
Things you once said.
Can't you forget him.
Take me back baby.
I'll be instead.
But you said you're sorry.
It has to end.
You put on quite a show.
And now I really know that.
Broken words, broken promises.
Cause broken hearts.
Broken words, broken promises
Cause broken hearts...
