Promises Lyrics

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
