lyrics

12. Broken Promises

All I want is just to Make you happy, baby
All I want is just to Make your dreams come true

I am a prisoner and I
Sometimes I wanna take my life
But someone else is holding onto me
Sometimes it’s hard To even dream

Broken promises And broken dreams
Nothing in this crazy world Is ever what it seems
And all I get For all this sweat
Is just a broken heart

Are people really Heartless and cruel
I know they don’t teach you that In school
But if you learn To play their game
You become like them And act the same

CHORUS

This crazy world is tearing us Apart
They never let you finish What you start
You and me Can put this back together
Come on babe

We are all prisoners inside
It’s just the good we always hide
So come along you can be free
You are only what
You believe

CHORUS
Broken promises
And broken dreams
Broken promises
And broken dreams
