False Promises

No nothing good starts with false promises

It was the best of dreams, worst letdowns
You struck my hope and tricked my mind
But you didn’t mean it
And I shouldn’t trust it
It must be built from the ground up
I’ll give you benefit of the doubt
I will try to trust you
I hope I can trust you

Lies are the reason you lost my trust
Fell into a ditch with false promises
My ego from the first false promise is still bruised
You only charm a person to let them down

I was trustin’
My naivete
You were lyin’
I was falling apart
I know you have an agenda
You ruin my plans when you mess with me
I’m trustin’
I’m frustrated cause
There were red flags
I should’ve held my heart
Trustin’ was my first mistake
You ruined my plans when you messed with me

All your false promises, oh-oh
I will never trust you, oh-oh-oh
No nothing good starts with false promises

It was the worst of fates
The safety rug
Pulled right from underneath my feet
And you weren’t carin’
And I was just trustin’
As the rug burned me
I was screamin’ “Ow! Ow! Ow!”
With these burned up rugs, honey, it’s just pain
And all this lyin’ ain’t a love story
And now we’re both sorry
(I’m still sorry)

Lies are the reason you lost my trust
Fell into a ditch with false promises
My ego from the first false promise is still bruised
You only charm a person to let them down

I was trustin’
My naivete
You were lyin’
I was falling apart
I know you have an agenda
You ruin my plans when you mess with me
I’m trustin’
I’m frustrated cause
There were red flags
I should’ve held my heart
Trustin’ was my first mistake
You ruined my plans when you messed with me

All your false promises, oh-oh
I will never trust you, oh-oh-oh
No nothing good starts with false promises

I was ready, oh you and me (ohh)
Until I thought to change my mind
I changed my m-i-i-i-nd
It’s no surprise I gave you up (ohh)
Because you liars never win

I’m in a better place
I left you and your promises
Pulled out the rug from underneath you
Tossed the match, last time you ever saw me (go!)

I was trustin’
My naivete
You were lyin’
I was falling apart
I know you have an agenda
You ruin my plans when you mess with me
I’m trustin’
I’m frustrated cause
There were red flags
I should’ve held my heart
Trustin’ was my first mistake
You ruined my plans when you messed with me

All your false promises, oh-oh
I will never trust you, oh-oh-oh
No nothing good starts with false promises

I refuse to
Trust your false promises
Wish I could
Trust your false promises
Will never
Trust your false promises
I want tooo
Trust your false promises

Trusted
All your false promises
You were lyin’
All your false promises
I was leavin’
All your false promises
Said goodbye to
Your false promises
