Another Empty Promise





Another dead-end bound conversation
We seem to be having a lot of these as of late
Me begging for more than you are willing to give
You unable to understand why I am so upset
     You make another one of your fantastic promises
     One I know you'll never remember to keep
     Looking into your eyes a familiar line is thought of
     "...yet how can you break such a broken promise?"
I am continuously running into a brick wall
You match love and pain with rage and undeserved guilt trips
I fell you want out but there are still shadows of doubt
Because lately I don't know if I even know you anymore
     I watch you through the tears I try to hide
     As we both sit in the cold, dark night
     I ask if you still love me and if you still want me
     You hesitate, then smoke another cigarette and tell me another lie
I remember a time when I knew that you cared
You'd phone just to say you were thinking of me
I say I'll forget all about you when you walk out on me
But how can I forget you after all the hell you've put me through?
     All too soon we go our seperate ways
     You send me on my way with another empty vow
     I watch the distance between us increase through tears
     Knowing that I haven't a chance in hell of success with you.
