Promises

I took the longest steps

I had ever really known

You were watching

From the road

The broken promises

I had told you in the car

Lay forgotten in chrome

What were some promises?

What I thought were promises

Weren't at all

She knew and saw

Right through it all

How could I have honestly

Seen the picture from the start?

I could not see us apart

But now recovery's

Overtaken the hurt

Just a long road in the dirt

What I thought were promises

Weren't at all

She knew and saw right through it all

She said I'll never love her at all

She practically promised it

And you know

She was probably right

I've got the feeling

She was never in a hurry at all

But now I walk in the light

And the feeling

Is so right

What I thought were promises

Weren't at all

She knew and saw right through it all

She said I'll never love her at all

She practically promised it

And you know

I should have known it from the start

All my promises

Weren't from the heart
