Broken Promises Songtext
von Phoenix Effect

You let me in so I could guide your hand
A quest for gold that yielded lead
So many things I still don′t understand
Would rear their ugly heads instead

No instigation, just run away
With nothing to fall back on, no skin left to save

What you needed the most were no more of these ghosts
Of my broken promises
What you needed the most never even came close to my
Broken promises

Sedated sorrow palms a lazy coin
You'll find no vindication here
Flash in the fast lane if you come to enjoy
Ill-fated fortune of the year


Castles we build now crumble like smiles
Skeleton home now, eaten by snails

What you needed the most were no more of these ghosts
Of my broken promises
What you needed the most never even came close to my
Broken promises

How you choose to wear your heart
How they′ll cast your part
How you choose to wear your heart
You wear your world upon your sleeve
Where you choose to wear your heart
How they'll tear you apart
Do you choose to save the world or to deceive?


What you needed the most were no more of these ghosts
Of my broken promises
What you needed the most never even came close to my
Broken promises
Broken promises
