Empty Promises (alternate) Lyrics

Dark clouds on a rainy day
Push and shove and all will find a way
Find a way
Yellow beams and brights and suns
Fall back down on where you've begun

But then it falls away
Then you're hanging on
Then it falls away
Then you're hanging on

Carry on
I'll find you
Dreaming all
I am with you
Wishing I
Could be the one
Burning out
Before the sun

I surround you
And everything
I surround you
And everything

Dreaming lights
They always fade
I never know
When to pay
Wishing you
Believed in me
I'm hanging on
For eternity

I surround you
And everything
I surround you
And everything

But
Everything
Everything
Everything falls away
No
Everything
Everything
Everything falls away

Everything
Everything
Everything falls away
No
Everything
Everything
Everything falls away

Stop bringing me down

I knew I gave I
I pushed too much
I wanted more
I let you go
Right out the door
I would die for you
I would bleed for you
I believe in you
I need you
I

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this is the demo version off of their release on Blue Worm Records.... it is FAR FAR better than the track that is on "common ground"... especially when he sings the "I would die for you" part.... more emotion.

i was so fucking disappointed with the tracking on "common ground".

I would agree that this version is better, it seems to have more emotion

I think this song is about how life deteriorates. How this person has been clinging to something and now it's "falling away" maybe a relationship. He's saying he worked so hard for it, and it fell apart anyway, even though he still has feelings for the person.
