Promises

The Dirty Youth

Same look in your eyes
Full of the lies
That you told your friends
Stories that never seem to end
They just get deeper

I understand you
But I just can’t stand you
Turn away to hide, looks of disgrace
It all makes sense to me now
As you fall to pieces

I can’t live with
Anymore false promises
Why is it that you persist?
Is there something I keep missing?
I can’t hold on
To anymore false promises
How did it all come to this?
Is there something I keep missing?

Same look on your face 
Hiding the lies with a bitter taste 
The confident sickness
That you embrace
As you get beaten

I’ll Exchange you
‘cause I just can’t change you
Turn away to hide, looks of dis grace
It  all makes sense to me now
As you fall to pieces

I can’t live with
Anymore false promises
Why is it that you persist?
Is there something I keep missing?
I can’t hold on
To anymore false promises
How did it all come to this?
Is there something I keep missing?

As the night comes closing in 
It’s cold when you’re not home
Are we better of alone?
Am I better off alone?
Same wheels turning 
I’m not yearning, I’ve been learning 

I can’t live with
Anymore false promises
Why is it that you persist?
Is there something I keep missing?
I can’t hold on
To anymore false promises
How did it all come to this?
Is there something I keep missing?
