Empty Promises

[Verse 1]
Let me tell you about the young man I once knew
He was quite the catch and charming as well, it's true
I was naive and reckless and reasonable at best
And his words wrapped around my heart
And lookin' back now, I was stupid as hell
And I wish I had known from the start

[Chorus]
That he was nothin' but empty promises
Filled with broken lies
Empty promises that only end in sad goodbyes
I'm not sayin' love ain't real
But this sure ain't it
No, I'm not sayin' love ain't real
I'm sayin' never trust empty promises

[Verse 2]
Time went by and days turned to weeks
And I fеll harder with every liе his lips spoke to me
I was drunk on his kisses and sunny days and picture perfect memories
And then the truth fell and my tears did as well
Without a whispered apology
Oh, the long nights and pretty words
Were just the same as he gave to her
They were all just
They were all just

[Chorus]
Empty promises
Filled with broken lies
Empty promises that only end in sad goodbyes
I'm not sayin' love ain't real
But this sure ain't it
No, I'm not sayin' love ain't real
I'm not sayin' love ain't real
I'm not sayin' love ain't real
