I think the title says it all

Empty Promises

The path isn't golden, but gold plated overlay.
The birds aren't singing, it's just a record replaying.
The diamonds of hope aren't diamonds at all;
  but fancy cut glass of wish shortfalls.

Not seeing the storm, blinded by sunshine;
  rude awakening drenched me with a down pour of
  why...
Why lie?
Why pretend?
Why promise me everything,
    when you knew you could deliver nothing?
