I went outside
To take a walk
So I could relive memories
I thought that you would lend a hand

But you were never ever there
It's all in your mind
You do what you want to do
Your promises are all played out

You've got your wish
You've worn me down
I've treated you the best I could
I realize that I don't need you

I lost my way
When you left home
I thought that you could change your life
What did I do

Why do you lie
You've walked back in
My hands are tied
It's all in your mind

You do what you want to do
Your promises are all played out
You've got your wish
You've worn me down

I've treated you the best I could
I realize that I don't need you
It's all in your mind
You do what you want to me

It's all in your mind
You do what you want, to me
I'm tired
I'm so damn angry with you

You're not gonna change
I see who you really are
Your promises are all played out
You've got your wish

You've worn me down
I've treated you the best I could
I realize that I don't need you
Your promises

Your promises
Your promises
They're all played out
You're so played out

You're so played out
You're so played out
They're all played out

    Really cool song. I think this new album has an obvious theme about trust issues in a relationship.
