Promises Lyrics by City Lights

The Way Things Should Be

0

I'm done with your promises
You know where to go
Make me an offer that I can't refuse
Make me believe that I've got nothing to lose
Drain every last ounce of hope from my body
And I'll still stand strong, I'll still walk tall
I used to think you were somebody special
I'm done with your promises
You know where to go
Back where you came from
There's nothing left for you
I'm done with your promises
You know where to go
Back where you came from
There's nothing left for you here
Bend me and break me, beat me down with your fists
Try to forget me, pretend that I don't exist
Tear down and destroy what's left of my spirit
And I'll still break free, you're a crippling disease
I'm done with your promises
You know where to go
Back where you came from
There's nothing left for you
I'm done with your promises
You know where to go
Back where you came from
There's nothing left for you here
There's nothing left for you
You've been telling me
What I wanted to hear
But now I'm not listening
I'm not listening
Not anymore, yeah!
I'm done with your promises
You know where to go
Back where you came from
There's nothing left for you
I'm done with your promises
You know where to go
Back where you came from
There's nothing left for you here
There's nothing left for you here
