Broken Promises

A brother and a friend is what you were to me
But you were never quite what you claimed to be
The messages you left, the half apologies
No, they don't fool me

You write your pain out into lines
With broken promises to find
That's fine, whatever you need
Use me any way that you please

You claim what you pursue isn't apathy
Excuse after excuse, the jokes you crack to me
You violate my trust, then come running back to me
But you don't fool me

You write your pain out into lines
But you don't read any of mine
That's fine, whatever you need
Use me any way that you please

Don't put the blame on me
Take some responsibility
For one time in your life, try to see my way
Okay? okay? okay? okay?

You write your pain out into lines
With broken promises to find
That's fine, whatever you need
Use me any way that you please
And in the end you'll only find
The truth you're following is blind
You hurt the people you need
Don't come running back to me
