Broken Promises
Hear the song and forget the words
Taking wing like a flock of birds;
Don't tell the story any more.
Walk away and you might pretend, broken promises always mend;
the wind, a whisper, don't ignore.
Like a smile underneath the stair,
running fast just to get nowhere;
Don't cry, it's only make-believe.
Run away and you lose the game, Burn the past in a heartless flame;
The day, a shadow, doesn't leave.
Don't ask me why the music made me cry;
the well of hope ran dry in the night.
I couldn't see the vow you made to me;
it wasn't meant to be, in the light.
Write the words but forget the song,
Birds in flight never stay too long;
Don't tell the story any more.
Run around like it's all a game, See the face but forget the name;
I try, but sadly, can't ignore.
Taking wing like a flock of birds;
Don't tell the story any more.
Walk away and you might pretend, broken promises always mend;
the wind, a whisper, don't ignore.
Like a smile underneath the stair,
running fast just to get nowhere;
Don't cry, it's only make-believe.
Run away and you lose the game, Burn the past in a heartless flame;
The day, a shadow, doesn't leave.
Don't ask me why the music made me cry;
the well of hope ran dry in the night.
I couldn't see the vow you made to me;
it wasn't meant to be, in the light.
Write the words but forget the song,
Birds in flight never stay too long;
Don't tell the story any more.
Run around like it's all a game, See the face but forget the name;
I try, but sadly, can't ignore.
