Broken Promises

You said you were always gonna be there. broken promises. you said that you cared. broken promises. you said we were gonna be together forever. broken promises
CHORUS:broken promises. yeah that's all i've ever known. no one's ever kept their word. they all promised it would be different this time. broken promises.//
don't know why i still listen to every crazy promise that only hurts in the end. promises are kept at least when i'm around. they are thrown around. CHORUS
all anyone has ever done is said it would be ok, the just go away. you said you would be different. broken promises. so much for that. CHORUS
all i've ever known is pain and suffering. i reached out and trusted you with everything. broken promises. it's always the same. they're all the same. always judgin' who they think they know before they know them. CHORUS
that's the only kind they're are.

That's called Broken Promises. written on 5/14/07. it was just kind of one of those days when i was feeling like no really ever kept their word. these songs are really personal to me. songwriting is about writing what you're feeling at that moment, then going back and organizing it into verses and bridges. and editing and editing, then editing some more. sometimes it takes years to finally get a song, lyrics and musics, perfected.
sometimes it surprises me when i go back reread lyrics to edit them what i was thinking. a lot of it is about people i barley remember. i've written lyrics since i was 8 and am always surprised when the stuff from then if better than stuff from three years ago. i guess it's all just a cycle. btw, if you're going to comment on the lyrics (which i really encourage you to do. it's the purpose of this blog) please don't flame me. and constructive critism is always better than that's awesome or you suck. tell what's good and what is in desprate need of improvement. oh come on, i had to have that.

ok, so this is like a new experience for me. really all i wanted was a place to post my lyrics and maybe some of my music so i get honest critisim from people who don't really know me, but hey maybe once i get into this i'll start posting other random things that pop into my head.
