lyrics

Broken Promises

January ended…
And February came.
All my resolutions broken
And nothing else has changed.

I can’t pay my bills.
And I can’t talk to you.
And I do too much thinking,
But I never think things through!

I find myself making promises,
That I know I’ll never keep.
Knowing they’ll be broken
Before I fall asleep!

But they get me through the day,
And though each one was a lie…
It’s not something I’ll admit to
Or something I’ll deny!

Instead I’ll keep on hoping
That there’s still a place for me.
And that someone will discover
What others failed to see.

I find myself making promises,
That I know I’ll never keep.
Knowing they’ll be broken
Before I fall asleep!

There’ll always be tomorrow,
Another chance will come my way!
I see you lay there dreaming.
Your lips move as if to say…

I find myself making promises,
That I know I’ll never keep.
Knowing they’ll be broken
Before I fall asleep!
