Lyrics

EMPTY PROMISES

(Then you told me, you would hold me)

(1st Verse)
Me and you forever, baby, that was our plan
And now I?m sitting here like, damn, I miss you being my man
Boy you know I love you, but I?m never gonna trust you
Cause I know you?re lying when you say that you love me too
I can do better than you, cause all you do is do me wrong
And for all your empty promises, I give you this song
I wish all the sweet lies that you told me were true
I?m moving on to the next, but I?m still missing you

(PRECHORUS)
I?ve heard it all before, it?s starting now to bore me
Go to someone else, I?m tired of your stories
Get out of my life, you ain?t done nothing for me
But give me empty promises

(CHORUS)
You say you will, and then you won?t
You say I do, but then you don?t
Baby all I know is you ain?t thinking ?bout me
All your empty promises I don?t believe
(Repeat)

(2nd Verse)
It?s like you hold me close so you can push me away
Tell me to leave and then you beg me to stay
You know I live for you, I?d die for you
But I?m tired of all the times you made me cry for you
I gave you try after try, believed your promises lie after lie
Now it?s time for me to say goodbye
I?ll get over all the pain and I will be OK
I need to fall out of love, because of you I can?t stay
(PRECHORUS + CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
Waited for your love- all night
Hoping you would change- and do right
Now I realize- it?s time to tell you goodbye
(CHORUS OUT + REPEAT BRIDGE)
