Empty Promises

Why do you believe when I say
I’ll never let you down again
I’m errant and I am human
Of course I’ll let you down again

I can’t think why I would tell you
I’ll never let you down again
“Sorry” just don’t seem like enough
And then I let you down again

You know I don’t want to lie to you
And I hate to have to hide from you
But I just don’t want to let you down
And there’s no easy way out

I guess you keep coming back for more
‘Cause love roots faith deep within you
Please don’t hold onto that faith no more
I don’t want to break what’s in you

Can you still love me without that faith
You know that I love you, don’t you
Despite my every countless mistake
You know that I love you don’t you?

You know I don’t want to lie to you
And I hate to have to hide from you
But I just don’t want to let you down
And there’s no easy way out

I’m sorry, I’ll try to change
No guarantees or empty promises
I’m sorry, I’ll try to change
No guarantees or empty promises
