Lyrics
Broken Promises
Verse1
Always thought love was so unbreakable. Put my trust in you gave you all control. All the promises made where are they now. Looking for that someone lost it some how.
Chorus
Ooh, remember that you told me that you cared, said that you will always be there, all of the things that you planned where are you now. The one who told me that he'd never leave, give me all the things that I need, all of the things that you said, broken promises.
Verse 2
Everything that you said took it to heart, just when I say I'm leaving you play your part. But it seems to go back to the same old thing, did you forget what you said, let me tell you again.
Chorus
Ooh, remember that you told me that you cared, said that you will always be there, all of the things that you planned where are you now. The one who told me that he'd never leave, give me all the things that I need, all of the things that you said, broken promises.
Bridge
All this time had faith in you that you'd do what you said, you'd come through for me and love me just like you should. Where's that person that said he would.
Chorus and adlib till fade
