Promises Broken Lyrics By Soul Asylum

    streets are filled broken glass
    you get buried by the past
    give me just a little taste
    lay this mask to waste
    take me home

    my mind is racing take me home
    my body’s aching so alone
    i’ll make you wanna stay with me
    befriended by the enemy
    one more time

    every little thing about this tells me
    nothing out there is ever gonna help me
    all these words that i hear spoken
    just promises broken

    lookin’ outside from a window sill
    throw another coin in my wishin’ well
    never find what you’re lookin’ for
    5 miles
    your dim light shines from so far away
    your sad smile is all i see
    when i say

    every little thing about this tells me
    nothing out there is ever gonna help me
    and all these words that i hear spoken
    just promises broken

    from the hotel satellite
    don’t look like you’re living right
    here’s a deal you can’t refuse
    you ain’t got as much to lose

    can you tell your troubles to
    someone who won’t laugh at you
    it’s alright
    and as i watch you walk away
    hope a part of you will stay
    it’s alright
