Broken Pormises

another cold night so pour me a drink and make it a strong one, I've given up the fight and lost all control
you find that the people you trust you can only trust just a little, and the people you love you don't even know.

So I stop to think about the broken promises, the dreams I've lost and the lies I've told, with my eyes wide open I let it all slip away.  I remember the good times, the bad times and the times in the middle, I wish I could have remembered to ask you to say.

This is where I hide a lifetime of memories.  Convincing myself that I'm better off alone. I'm to tired to stand up now and two proud to fall, I wish I would have turned around and gone back home.

The days turn to weeks, the weeks become years and the years become a lifetime, before you find out where you are, you've been there to long. Now the echos of voices fall silent and their only the ghosts in my mind, as I look to find all the familiar faces gone.

And this is where I hide my lifetime of promises, I've locked them up deep inside a frozen tear away. I'm to tired to stand up now and to proud to fall, I wish I would have asked you to stay.
