Your words were like honey on a summer night
Said you'd never leave swore you'd hold me tight
We sat on the porch my head on your chest
Talkin' 'bout forever but that was just jest
You painted me pictures of a life I'd never see
Made me believe there was a "you and me"
It's hard to forgive when you've been fooled by a friend
Easier to hate a stranger than pretend
You showed me your nature like the first time was a lie
But I kept on believin' thought you'd never say goodbye
La la la your promises fell like leaves in fall
La la la thought you'd catch me but you let me crawl
La la la sweet words turned bitter dry like dust
Empty promises they all turned to rust
You said I was yours on a night by the fire
The flame flickered out but you kept the desire
I thought I could change you thought love was enough
But love ain't magic it can't polish a bluff
I saw who you were I just didn't want to know
I let you hide behind words never let it show
It's easy to fall for the ones who hold you close
But the ones who lie are the ones who hurt the most
You let your secrets slip right through the cracks
Now I'm left pickin' up pieces tryin' to find my way back
La la la your promises fell like leaves in fall
La la la thought you'd catch me but you let me crawl
La la la sweet words turned bitter dry like dust
Empty promises they all turned to rust
Ooooh ooooh the truth was always there
I should've seen it but I didn't care
Mmmm mmmm you never tried to stay
You just gave me words and then slipped away
I remember when we danced under the old oak tree
You said we'd be alright but you were never free
You left your mark on me a scar I can't erase
Still taste your promises but I don't see your face
They say memories warm you but they burn me down
Every word you said every lie I found
When someone shows you who they are believe it's true
I didn't want to but now I wish I knew
You used my trust made me feel like a fool
But your empty promises they broke all the rules
La la la your promises fell like leaves in fall
La la la thought you'd catch me but you let me crawl
La la la sweet words turned bitter dry like dust
Empty promises they all turned to rust
La la la la la la singin' a song that's through
La la la no more believin' in you
Ooooh ooooh let the echoes fade
Empty promises a price that's paid
La la la singin' a song that's through
La la la no more believin' in you
La la la let the memories fade
Empty promises a price that's paid

Your words were like honey on a summer night
Said you'd never leave swore you'd hold me tight
We sat on the porch my head on your chest
Talkin' 'bout forever but that was just jest
You painted me pictures of a life I'd never see
Made me believe there was a "you and me"
It's hard to forgive when you've been fooled by a friend
Easier to hate a stranger than pretend
You showed me your nature like the first time was a lie
But I kept on believin' thought you'd never say goodbye
La la la your promises fell like leaves in fall
La la la thought you'd catch me but you let me crawl
La la la sweet words turned bitter dry like dust
