All Those Promises

Janis Ian All Those Promises Lyrics:
I don’t need to know her name,
It's enough for me to know she is.
I know she is not to blame.
Did you tell her you were free,
After all you said to me?
And all those promises,
That you made and left behind,
Were filled with emptiness.
You were never really mine.
Every sweet caress,
Was just your second best.
Broken promises.

Baby, I'm amazed,
At how long I still believed.
How many lies it takes,
Before someone like me sees,
All the tears you cry,
Never can deny,
That you make love a lie.
All the tears you cry,
They never could deny,
That you make love a lie.

So when you see her, hold her tight.
Don't forget to whisper in her ear.

When she wakes alone at night,
Holding only memories,
Maybe she will think of me.
And all those promises,
That you made me from the start,
Were filled with emptiness,
From the desert of your heart.
Every sweet caress,
Was just your second best.
Broken promises.

Baby, I'm amazed,
At how long I still believed.
How many lies it takes,
Before someone like me sees,
All the tears you cried,
Never could deny,
That you made love a lie.
All the tears you cried,
Never could deny,
That you made love a lie.
