Broken Promises...

You have often wondered, if true love does exist?
Or is it like a faded rose, that withers when it's kissed?
Love has tried to reach you, but it just tears you apart
True love will only find you, when it's deep within the heart.

As you look into his eyes, you're caught within his trance
You feel his passion stirring, as your heart begins to dance
He caresses you so gently, and leaves you wanting more
But soon it will be over, as he walks out through the door.

I see your eyes crying, but you never shed a tear
I feel your heart breaking, but you just hide the fear
And I see your hands tremble, but you just clench your fist
Loneliness is raining down, and you can't see through the mist.
You have softly whispered, into your lovers ear
Hoping he'd return the words, you want so bad to hear
But as you listened closely, those words were never said
It was only for a moment, broken promises in bed.

It seems your special lover, has played you for a fool
And when it comes to romance, he's broken every rule
You deserve much better, and you know it isn't fair
He doesn't love you when he's gone, it's only when he's there.

I see your eyes crying, but you never shed a tear
I feel your heart breaking, but you just hide the fear
And I see your hands tremble, but you just clench your fist
Loneliness is raining down, and you can't see through the mist.
