She never makes commitments

She's never short of alibis

When I ask the same old questions

She always tells me lies



There's something missing in her life

But what it is she won't say

And when I try to. . .

Try to reach her

She simply pulls away



Listening to her promises

Believing all her lies

Listen to those empty promises

One more time



She never thinks about the future

She lives from day to day

Sometimes I have to wonder

What kind of game she plays



So much emotion in her eyes

But so much emptiness inside

I know she wants to give you everything

I know I'm wasting my time



Listening to her promises

Believing all her lies

But when I hear those empty promises

I see through her disguise



Why do I listen to her empty promises

Believing in all her lies

Why will I listen to those empty promises

One more time



She promised the world to me tonight

She promised to stay with me all night

Tonight, listen to those empty promises
