All Those Promises

I don't need to know her name

It's enough for me to know she is

I know she is not to blame

Did you tell her you were free

After all you said to me?

And all those promises

That you made and left behind

Were filled with emptiness

You were never really mine

Every sweet caress

Was just your second best

Broken promises

Baby, I'm amazed

At how long I still believed

How many lies it takes

Before someone like me sees

All the tears you cry

Never can deny

That you make love a lie

All the tears you cry

They never could deny

That you make love a lie

So when you see her, hold her tight

Don't forget to whisper in her ear

When she wakes alone at night

Holding only memories

Maybe she will think of me

And all those promises

That you made me from the start

Were filled with emptiness

From the desert of your heart

Every sweet caress

Was just your second best

Broken promises

Baby, I'm amazed

At how long I still believed

How many lies it takes

Before someone like me sees

All the tears you cried

They never could deny

That you made love a lie

All those tears you cried

They never could deny

That you made love a lie
