You promised not to let me down
You promised that you'd be around
You said I'd never hurt again
Me believe you, there's no way
You promised that you'd hold my hand
You promised that you'd be my man
I need for you to understand
For me to trust you, there's no way

You come and go
You stay, you leave
You're full of empty promises
That never came to be
And baby you say our love was built to last
Not a love like this
I need someone I can count on
Not just now and then, and baby you said...

You promised not to let me down
You promised that you'd be around
You said I'd never hurt again
Me believe you, there's no way
You promised that you'd hold my hand
You promised that you'd be my man
I need for you to understand
For me to trust you, there's no way

I'm moving on, oh, that is best for me
You swear you'll make it better, babe
But I can't believe
Cause I've heard it all before
It's in the past, must look ahead
I thought that I'd be loving you
But I'm hurt instead

You promised not to let me down
You promised that you'd be around
You said I'd never hurt again
Me believe you, there's no way
You promised that you'd hold my hand
You promised that you'd be my man
I need for you to understand
For me to trust you, there's no way

Every tear I've cried, every time you lied
And every time you broke my heart
Now I'm going on til the pain is gone
I'm waiting for the pain to go away

You promised not to let me down (you promised me)
You promised that you'd be around (you promised me)
You said I'd never hurt again (never to leave me)
Me believe you, there's no way (baby no way)
You promised that you'd hold my hand (you promised me)
You promised that you'd be my man (you promised me)
I need for you to understand (never to leave me)
For me to trust you, there's no way (baby no way)
