An emotional anthem about broken trust and heartache, 'Empty Promises' captures the pain of giving everything to someone who never valued it, reflecting on the feelings of abandonment and the bitterness of unfulfilled promises. This powerful rock ballad showcases the struggles of letting go and the hard truth of love lost.
Verse 1:
I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul,
You took it for granted, now I'm losing control.
Every promise you made, every word that you said,
Faded into silence, left me feeling dead.
Chorus:
Empty promises and shattered dreams,
You ran away, tore at the seams.
I gave it all but you never cared,
Now I'm left with this pain I've bared.
Verse 2:
I stood by your side when no one else would,
You took my love like you knew you could.
Each time that you left, I thought you would stay,
But your heart was a ghost, always slipping away.
Chorus:
Empty promises and shattered dreams,
You ran away, tore at the seams.
I gave it all but you never cared,
Now I'm left with this pain I've bared.
Bridge:
You were my life, my reason to fight,
But you disappeared into the night.
I’m picking up pieces of what was once whole,
Your absence has carved out a hole in my soul.
Chorus:
Empty promises and shattered dreams,
You ran away, tore at the seams.
I gave it all but you never cared,
Now I'm left with this pain I've bared.
Outro:
So here's to you, my careless friend,
The echoes of you I cannot mend.
No more empty promises, no more lies,
I’ll find my freedom beneath these skies.
