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

then 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

instead of walking straight ahead

i remember what you passed for truth

it turned out lies

yes i remember what you said



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

u seen to recall you mentioning devotion

i 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

ti turned out lies instead

yes i remember what i said



promise promise here's a little promise

love and that i'll keep for sure

love and that i'll keep for sure

love and that i'll keep for sure

love and that i'll keep for sure

i remeber, i remember

i remeber, i remember

i know you're through with broken promises

i know you're through with broken plans

and broken dreams

i know you're through with broken promises

i know you're through with broken promises
