Promises Lyrics

I went outside to take a walk
So I could re-live 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 to 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 to 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 do
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 gunna change
I see who you really are

Your promises are all played out
You've got to wish you've worn me down
I've treated you the best I could
I realize that I don't need you

Your promises (x3)
They're all played out

You're so played out (x3)
They're all played out

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

Is it just me or does this song reek of Seether's "Fine Again"? Is it supposed to be like that?

I love this song! 'You're NOT gonna change, I see who you really are!' there are some people I could dedicate this to...word for word...

Well, for me this song means a lot. I just got out of a really abusive relationship, where this guy would go off on me verbally and physically and I would put up with it because he was always "sorry" and promised to stop and get help. Thing is, he never was really serious about changing. He'd go to therapy and bullshit the therapist and me, then we'd leave and he'd go right back to the same behavior and wouldn't try to change anything. So, the 3rd time is the charm, he beat the crap out of me one night, just 2 weeks ago in fact, he busted my head open and nearly killed me. He went back to jail for the 3rd time and he's going to be there for quite a while and I am not going to fall for his "pity" me routine and endless promises ever again!! I hope he enjoys being treated like the abused little bitch for a change while he's in jail.

Definatley one of Ademas softer songs.....at least somewhat. The meaning is pretty obvious. I just like the way the softer parts of the song are structured, yummy!

It's totally amazing. The lead songer knows how to get his point across nice rough, angry voice

I love this song! Mark stated that this song is about a boy that tried his best to live up to people's expectations, but in the end was tired of trying to do so and went out to live by his own expectations. This song is probably the best song of the Unstable album.
