Turned Out Lies
I remember a promise for a new tomorrow
I remember a promise to save our youth
I remember security for our aging
But when you made the pudding you left out all the proof
I seem to recall you mentioning the word hope
I seem to recall you mentioning solutions
You made it sound like an angel had landed on our doorstep
Gave us more like two steps back than any evolution
Your empty promises are filling people's heads
You have us crawling round in circles 'stead of walking straight ahead
And I remember what you passed for truth turned out lies instead
Yes, I remember what you said (lies, lies, lies)
Yeah, I remember what you said (lies, lies, lies)
I made you a promise for a new tomorrow
I made you a promise to share our youth
I promised you security through our aging
But when I made the pudding, love, I left out all the proof
I seem to recall you mentioning the word trust
I seem to recall you mentioning devotion
Made it sound like god's gift had landed on your doorstep
Gave you more like two steps back than any evolution
My empty promises were filling up your head, I have us
Crawling round in circles 'stead of walking straight ahead
And I remember what you took for truth turned out lies instead
Yes, I remember what I said (lies, lies, lies)
Yes, I remember what you said (lies, lies, lies)
I remember
Yeah, promise, promise, here's a little promise, it's love that I'll keep for sure
Said, promise, promise, here comes a promise, it's love that I'll keep for sure
Promise, promise here's a little promise, it's love that I'll keep for sure
Said, promise, promise here's a little promise, it's love
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I remember, I remember
I know you're through with broken promises, yes
I know you're through with broken plans and broken dreams
I know you're through with broken promises, yes
I know you're through, you're through with broken promises
