Spirit of The West - Turned Out Lies lyrics

I remember a promise for a new tomorrow

I remember a promise to save our youth

I remember security for our aging

But when you made the pudding

You left out all the proof

I seem to recall you mentioning the word hope

I seem to recall you mentioning solutions

You made it sound like an angel

Had landed on our doorstep

Gave us more like two steps back

Than any evolution

Your empty promises are filling people's heads

You have us crawling round in circles

'Stead of walking straight ahead

I remember what you passed for truth

It turned out lies

Yes, I remember what you said (lies, lies, lies)

Yeah, I remember what you said (lies, lies, lies)

I made you a promise for a new tomorrow

I made you a promise to share our youth

I promised you security through our aging

But when I made the pudding, love,

I left out all the proof

I seem to recall you mentioning the word trust

I seen to recall you mentioning devotion

Made it sound like god's gift

Had landed on your doorstep

Then gave you more like two steps back

Than any evolution

My empty promises were filling up your head

I had us crawling round in circles

Instead of walking straight ahead

I remember what you took for truth

Turned out lies instead

Yes, I remember what I said (lies, lies, lies)

Yes, I remember what I said (lies, lies, lies)

I remember...

Yeah, promise, promise, here's a little promise

It's love and that I keep for sure

Say, promise, promise, here comes a promise

Love and that I'll keep for sure

Promise, promise, here's a little promise

It's love and that I'll keep for sure

Say, promise, promise, here's a little promise

It's love...

I remember (I remember)

I remember (I remember)

I remember (I remember)

I remember (I remember)

I know you're through with broken promises

Yes, I know you're through with broken plans

And broken dreams

I know you're through with broken promises

Yes, I know you're through...

You're through with broken promises
