A lifetime filled with cheating hearts
all echo from my past
The "promise true's" and "I love you's"
each one meant to last
So fine was this line of sharing
built with honesty and trust
Each vow's now left inside my head
to slowly gather dust

I struggle to tomorrow
searching hope, yet walking blind
While broken dreams and silent screams
play re-runs in my mind
I try to shake each past mistake
and meet what lies ahead
While hearing cold reminders of
these promises once said

It's hard to feel what's wrong from real
when shadows dim the light
I close my eyes and dream a dream
of heaven every night
It's all I know, this history
I hold a guiding hand?
These scars I show, a lesson that
I don't yet understand?

Another day awaits me
in this life I call my own
A cruel delay frustrates me
as I face this world alone
Let words once said and tears long shed
rest peaceful in this heart
I know the pain of love in vain
will always play its part

With open arms I welcome such
new dreams as may arise
I only pray to find one day
a love... without goodbyes
