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.
It seems the songs we're singing
Are all about tomorrow,
Tunes of promises that we can't keep.
Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying
Don't make promises you can't keep.
Don't make promises you can't keep.
We had a chance to find it,
Our time was now or never,
You promised me things that I need.
And then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever,
You're telling me lies in your sleep.
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying?
Don't go on betraying.
Don't make promises you can't keep
