Empty Promises

In the shadows of our dreams
We built castles out of schemes
Your words like glass, they shattered fast
Left me holding the aftermath

The nights were long, the lies were sweet
In every promise, our defeat
I chased the stars you painted bright
But they vanished with the night

Empty promises, they linger on
Like the ghost of a forgotten song
In the silence, they betray
All the things we couldn't say
In the silence, they betray
All the things we couldn't say

The echoes of your voice remain
A haunting, never-ending strain
I walked the path we used to tread
Now it's just me and the words you said

The dreams we had, now faded gray
Like the dawn at the end of day
I searched for truth within your eyes
But found only empty skies

Empty promises, they linger on
Like the ghost of a forgotten song
In the silence, they betray
All the things we couldn't say
In the silence, they betray
All the things we couldn't say

The lines we crossed, the paths we burned
The lessons that we never learned
In the ruins of what was
Lie the fragments of because

Empty promises, they linger on
Like the ghost of a forgotten song
In the silence, they betray
All the things we couldn't say

In the quiet of the dawn
I find the strength to carry on
But the shadows still persist
Of your empty promises
