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)
