All Those Promises

I don’t need to know her name\nIt’s enough for me to know she is\nI know she is not to blame\nDid you tell her you were free\nAfter all you said to me?\nAnd all those promises\nThat you made and left behind\nWere filled with emptiness\nYou were never really mine\nEvery sweet caress\nWas just your second best\nBroken promises\nBaby, I’m amazed\nAt how long I still believed\nHow many lies it takes\nBefore someone like me sees\nAll the tears you cry\nNever can deny\nThat you make love a lie\nAll the tears you cry\nThey never can deny\nThat you make love a lie\nSo when you see her, hold her tight\nDon’t forget to whisper in her ear\nWhen she wakes alone at night\nHolding only memories\nMaybe she will think of me\nAnd all those promises\nThat you made me from the start\nWere filled with emptiness\nFrom the desert of your heart\nEvery sweet caress\nWas just your second best\nBroken promises\nBaby, I’m amazed\nAt how long I still believed\nHow many lies it takes\nBefore someone like me sees\nAll the tears you cried\nThey never could deny\nThat you made love a lie\nAll those tears you cried\nThey never could deny\nThat you made love a lie
