Promises and Lies Songtext
von UB40

All the sorrow and the pain
All the sacrifice in vain
I was much too blind to see
You make a loser out of me
You put me down for, oh, so long
While you sang your serpent′s song

The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I've been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies

Promises and lies
Promises and lies


Your cut was quick and deep, but then
You thought you′d never need a friend
But all things change, and tides must turn
And you let all your bridges burn
Too many fatal wounds to heal
Now you're feelin' what I feel

The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I′ve been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies

Promises and lies
Promises and lies

All the sorrow and the pain
All the sacrifice in vain
But all things change, and tides must turn
You let all your bridges burn
Too many fatal wounds to heal
Now you′re feelin' what I feel


The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I′ve been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies

Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies

Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies

Promises and lies
Promises and lies
