Broken Promises Lyrics

Written by: Cheri Arnett/Jessica Shepherd/David Valley

(Travellingirl Songs ASCAP)

Verse:

This confusion’s lingering round my brain
Swore I’d never be here again
Don’t quite know what this is all about
But my morals are caught up in a drought

Verse:

I’m about to hurt the one that loves me
Selfishness in these veins could fill the seas
This is not an unfamiliar feeling
For some reason I can’t quit singing

Chorus:

Oh – feeling good used to be easy
Oh – seems these days nothing can please me
Oh – doomed to make broken promises

Verse:

Search for the light that never seems to shine
So I re-visit the past all the time
Maybe someday I’ll grow out of this
But for now I keep on making broken promises

Bridge:

Throw away the things that matter to me most
It won’t be my heart put upon a post
Do unto others as you would have done
It’s because of this, I know my time is gonna come

Chorus:

Oh – feeling good used to be easy
Oh – seems these days nothing can please me
Oh – doomed to make broken promises
