Empty Promises

(Song)

 

You promised to love me, to make me your wife,

To love and to care for the rest of your life,

Your love it grew cold as you told me those lies,

Where is the love that was once in your eyes.

 

Empty Promises, I've showed you the door

You are shallow my darling, my feelings are raw,

Inside you are hollow, I need you no more

Empty promises, walk out of that door

 

You have taken my heart, you have torn it in two,

Life will be better, I’m sure without you,

Don’t lie to yourself, don’t say you’ll be good,

Leave now my darling, you know that you should.

 

Empty Promises, I've showed you the door

You are shallow my darling, my feelings are raw,

Inside you are hollow, I need you no more

Empty promises, walk out of that door

​

You have promised to change, many times it is true,

Deception and lies are the makings of you,

Go now to your new love, one of the many,

It will not last long, I’ll bet every penny

 

Empty Promises, I've showed you the door

You are shallow my darling, my feelings are raw,

Inside you are hollow, I need you no more

Empty promises, walk out of that door

​

Your a good looking nothing, a cold hollow shell,

You often changed partners, made my life hell,

You are callous my darling, self centered too,

You’ve used and abused me, I’m best without you.

 

Empty Promises, I've showed you the door

You are shallow my darling, my feelings are raw,

Inside you are hollow, I need you no more

Empty promises, walk out of that door
