Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Same look in your eyes
Full of the lies
That you told your friends
Stories that never seem to end
They just get deeper
I understand you
But I just can’t stand you
Turn away to hide, looks of disgrace
It all makes sense to me now
As you fall to pieces
I can’t live with
Anymore false promises
Why is it that you persist?
Is there something I keep missing?
I can’t hold on
To anymore false promises
How did it all come to this?
Is there something I keep missing?
Same look on your face
Hiding the lies with a bitter taste
The confident sickness
That you embrace
As you get beaten
I’ll exchange you
‘Cause I just can’t change you
Turn away to hide, looks of dis grace
It all makes sense to me now
As you fall to pieces
I can’t live with
Anymore false promises
Why is it that you persist?
Is there something I keep missing?
I can’t hold on
To anymore false promises
How did it all come to this?
Is there something I keep missing?
As the night comes closing in
It’s cold when you’re not home
Are we better of alone?
Am I better off alone?
Same wheels turning
I’m not yearning, I’ve been learning
I can’t live with
Anymore false promises
Why is it that you persist?
Is there something I keep missing?
I can’t hold on
To anymore false promises
How did it all come to this?
Is there something I keep missing?
