This is a different story
I've turned another page
My hands are weaker

And my eyes are showing age

I never wanted much from life

Only what was real
But real is something the mind creates
And the heart believes


Don't promise me anything
I cannot believe

Because I once did
And look at me now


I followed you so far down
I still can't get out
I see my face in the mirror

But I don't recognize my thoughts

I lived on your lies for so long

I became so cynical
I wrote twenty $#&@ed up songs
About trust, love and hope


Don't promise me anything
I cannot believe

Because I once did
And look at me now


This is no love story
Just the opposite you see
It's about how the promise of it

Blinded me
