Matt Armstrong - Empty Promises Lyrics

I gave my time, I gave my trust,
Built a bridge out of fragile dust.
You said you'd meet me halfway there,
But all I found was empty air.
Your words were sweet, they pulled me in,
A story told, but paper-thin.
Now I'm left with the weight of doubt,
Picking up pieces you threw out.

Empty promises, they echo in my mind,
Shattered hopes are all I find.
You said you'd be there, but you let me fall,
Now I'm standing here, no one to call.
Empty promises, they cut so deep,
I gave you faith, but it's yours to keep.
You said you'd be there, but you let me fall,
Now I'm standing here, no one to call.

It's not the first, it won't be the last,
A lesson learned, buried in the past.
I tried so hard to make this right,
But you just vanished into the night.
I held the rope, I pulled the weight,
While you just watched and sealed my fate.
What's the point of giving all I can,
When you won't even lend a hand?

Empty promises, they echo in my mind,
Shattered hopes are all I find.
You said you'd be there, but you let me fall,
Now I'm standing here, no one to call.
Empty promises, they cut so deep,
I gave you faith, but it's yours to keep.
You said you'd be there, but you let me fall,
Now I'm standing here, no one to call.

I won't be your fool again,
This is where the hurt will end.
I'll learn to walk this road alone,
No more waiting by the phone.
Your words were chains, but now I'm free,
I'll leave behind what's left of me.

Empty promises, they've lost their power,
I'll build my world, hour by hour.
No more waiting, no more lies,
I'll find my strength beneath these skies.
Empty promises, they'll fade away,
And I'll rise stronger every day.
No more waiting, no more lies,
I'll find my strength beneath these skies.
