Lyrics for Broken Promise - 2024 Digital Master
Oh, I don't know why people lie I don't know why people die Every time I see you, you shout at me 'Cause of all the things in the world that I can't see But what I think goes on in this world For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl Is that the more you earn, the less you learn There's a fire in life where we will burn And I never could believe it And I never could be true For the things that mean so much to me Don't mean that much to you And I never could believe the way you told me I was wrong If I'm right and you are sinful Then for God's sake, I was wrong Oh, I don't know how I think this way When you sit there looking at me all day There's more to you that I can't see There's a shadow of a mother hanging over me But what I think goes on in this world For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl Is that the more you earn, the less you learn There's a fire in life where we will burn And I never could believe it And I never could be true For the things that mean so much to me Don't mean that much to you And I never could believe the way you told me I was wrong If I'm right and if you're sinful Then for God's sake, I was wrong Oh, I'd tear you out of heaven and I'd tear you out of hell And I'd see your life in ruin's pictures, mine was as well And I'd cry out in my loneliness while you sleep in your peace But you'll never see my face again while I need words like these
