Lyrics

Promises

We were a joke, we were fools

Such a disgrace, but I was used

You never kept your promises

But I still believed you

You lied and you cheated

You stole my belongings and threw me away

Believed anything that you said

Put all those doubts in my head, what a loser

Stick around cos life is too short, you said

You said we could still be friends

You lied to me again

You said we could still be friends

You never kept your promises

Kept those promises

Don't change the world, that's what you said

But don't hold a grudge is what you meant

I, I'm reconstructed

With or without you, in spite of our difference

I'm walking away

Believed anything that you said

Put all those doubts in my head, what a loser

Stick around cos life is too short, you said

You said we could still be friends

You lied to me again

You said we could still be friends

You never kept your promises

So keep those promises

We were a joke, we were fools

Such a disgrace, but we were used

And now I've found you said it goes for

For the millions that you'll never use

Anything that you said

Put all those doubts in my head, I'm a loser

Stick around cos life is too short, you said

You said we could still be friends

You lied to me again

You said we could still be friends

You lied to me again

You said we could still be friends

You never kept those promises

Kept those promises

So we can move on
