Empty Promises

Chorus
Empty promises, don't mean a thing,
I just realized that you've been telling me lies.
You say you'll call, the phone will ring,
It's just a waste of time if you're not on the line.

Verse
I guess you're gone. I'd like to know what went wrong.
You said you care, well are you dead or runnng scared?
Abandoned lovers, it's no fun on the run.
I guess I'll live, but stay away 'cause I won't play

Verse
I really need, someone true, i thought it was you.
I lost my heart, until it's found don't come around.
I'm not a fool, I can learn when I burn.
I'm learning now, and what I feel is awfully real.

Chorus
Empty promises, don't mean a thing,
I just realized that you've been telling me lies.
You say you'll call, the phone will ring,
It's just a waste of time if you're not on the line.

Verse
I won't demand you, it's out of my hands and I don't understand you.
I can't believe, you promised me that you'd never leave.
You've disappeared, you're not here and that is clear.
Life isn't clean, When times are lean love gets mean

Chorus
Empty promises, don't mean a thing,
I just realized that you've been telling me lies.
You say you'll call, the phone will ring,
It's just a waste of time if you're not on the line.

repeat chorus and fade out
