Promises Broken

In the style of

Soul Asylum

Lyrics

streets are filled
with broken glass
you get buried
by the past

give me
just a little taste
lay this mess
to waste
take me home

my mind is racin'
take me home
my body's achin'
so alone

i'll make you want
to stay with me
befriended
by the enemy
one more time

and every little thing
about this tells me
nothin' out there
is ever gonna help me
all these words
that i hear spoken
just promises
broken now

lookin' outside
from my windowsill
throw another coin
in the wishin' well
you'll never find
what you're
lookin' for

fifty miles
his dim light shines
from so far away
your sad smile
that's all i see
when i say

and every little thing
about this tells me
nothin' out there
is ever gonna help me
all these words
that i hear spoken
just promises
broken now

from the
hotel satellite
don't look like
you're livin' right
here's a deal
you can't refuse
you ain't got
as much to lose

can you tell
your troubles to
someone who won't
laugh at you
it's alright

and as i watch
you walk away
hope a part of you
will stay
it's alright

every little thing
about this tells me
nothin' out there
is ever gonna help me
all these words
that i hear spoken
just promises
broken now
