Promises and Empty Words - Scars on 45

Is there a reason why

That everyone I’ve known never let me down gently?

Between the loss and the lies

I’m always drowned out by silence

Drowned out by silence

Well, every word that you laid

Was selfish, you lass, and it hurt me from the first call

But now I know that I’m saved

You can keep all your silence

Keep all your silence

And no more waiting in a cold bed for you

I’ll never hear another lie fall out of your mouth

Your promises and empty words surround you

Why should I be the one

To give this everything?

If I could open my eyes

I’d know that everything you do never catches me falling

And with the times that we fight

There’s a home filled with silence

Home filled with silence

And no more waiting in a cold bed for you

I’ll never hear another lie fall out of your mouth

Your promises and empty words surround you

Why should I be the one

To give this everything?

And no more waiting in a cold bed for you

I’ll never hear another lie fall out of your mouth

Your promises and empty words surround you

Why should I be the one?

Why should I be the one?
