Broken Promises

by Herbie Hancock

In time, I’ll return once more
To find the house where I was born
And there you took a photograph
Of me and my sisters back then
To celebrate the lives that you made
You held us and hoped that you’d find
Peace for the very first time
One day, I’ll begin again
A new start, a chance to make amends
For all the broken promises
And dreams that I never fulfilled
I’ll celebrate the lives that you made
Look on my face and you’ll find
Peace for the very first time
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Only the love will remain
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Only the love will remain
The broken promises
And dreams that I never fulfilled
Let’s celebrate the lives that you made
Go to a place where you’ll find
Peace for the very first time

And there you took a photograph

To celebrate the lives that you made
You held us and hoped that you’d find
Peace for the very first time
One day, I’ll begin again
A new start, a chance to make amends
For all the broken promises
And dreams that I never fulfilled
I’ll celebrate the lives that you made
Look on my face and you’ll find
Peace for the very first time
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Only the love will remain
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Once the hurt has faded
Only the love will remain
The broken promises
And dreams that I never fulfilled
Let’s celebrate the lives that you made
Go to a place where you’ll find
Peace for the very first time

Broken Promises

by Neil Young

Oh I don't know why people lie
And I don't know why people die
Every time I see you, you shout at me
'Cause of all the things in the world that I can't see
But what I think goes on in this world
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl
Is that the more you earn, the less you learn
There's a fire in life where we will burn
And I never could believe it
And I never could be true
For the things that mean so much to me
Don't mean that much to you
And I never could believe
The way you told me I was wrong
If I'm right and you are sinful
Then for God's sake I was wrong
Oh, I don't know how I think this way,
And yet you sit there looking at me all day
There's more to you than I can see
There's a shadow of another hanging over me
But what I think goes on in this world
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl
Is that the more you earn, the less you learn
There's a fire in life where we will burn
And I never could believe it
And I never could be true
For the things that mean so much to me
Don't mean that much to you
And I never could believe
The way you told me I was wrong
If I'm right and if you're sinful
Then for God's sake I was wrong
Oh, I'd tear you out of heaven
And I'd tear you out of hell
And I'd see your life in ruins
Because mine lies there as well
And I'd cry out in my loneliness
While you sleep in your peace
But you'll never see my face again
While I need words like these

Broken promises

by Genesis

I made myself a promise
The day you put me down
That I wouldn't see you
If you came around
But here you are within my arms
The way you used to be
And I broke the promise
That I made to me
They told me you were at a dance
As I prepared to go
I made myself a promise
That I'd only say hello
I knew you'd only hurt me
But it's such sweet misery
So I broke the promise
That I made to me
A broken promise always means
Someone will surely cry
And I know who
That someone's bound to be
And tomorrow I'll be sorry
That I told myself a lie
And broke the promise
That I made to me
(Repeat last verse)

Broken Promises

by Tina arena

No more lonely nights
Baby, that's just what you told me
(Thats what you said)
But you're nowhere to be found
Something just ain't right
'Cause I can't get you to hold me
Even when you're around
Baby you promised me
That you'd always be there for me
(Tell me) Tell me what's on your mind
(Tell me what's on your mind)
What happened to the "I Love You"s
The hugs and kisses and the rendezvous'
What happened to me and you
You said you'd never change
What happened
Baby, talk to me
You used to be sugar sweet
Just like candy
Now you're breaking my heart
With all your broken promises
Open your eyes
Baby that's what people tell me
(That's what they say)
But it's hard to let you go
I can't take your lies
If you're spending time with somebody else
You gotta let me know
Baby you promised me
That you'd never run a game on me
(Tell me) Tell me what's on your mind
What happened to the "I Love You"s
The hugs and kisses and the rendezvous'
What happened to me and you
You said you'd never change
What happened
Baby, talk to me
You used to be sugar sweet
Just like candy
Now you're breaking my heart
With all your broken promises
You say you're gonna do this
And you say you're gonna do that
But you never come through
(But you never come through)
And it's so different lately
'Cause you don't call me baby
I just don't know what to do
(I just don't know what to do)
What happened to the "I Love You"s
The hugs and kisses and the rendezvous'
What happened to me and you
You said you'd never change
What happened
Baby, talk to me
You used to be sugar sweet
Just like candy
Now you're breaking my heart
With all your broken promises
You say you're gonna do this
And you say you're gonna do that
Oh what happened to me and you
You said you'd never change
Baby baby tell me
What happened
Baby, talk to me
You used to be sugar sweet just like candy
Now you're breaking my heart
With all your broken promises
So quit breaking my heart
With all your broken promises

Broken Promises

by Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash

Summer and smoke, diamonds and dust
Go where you will, do what you must
The promise was made, your word was enough
We had dreams, visions and plans
Into the night, out of our hands
Letting our passion fulfill our demands
I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
Does it seem like so long ago?
*Broken promises
Is it written in stone that we wind up alone
Wo oh, broken promises
And a heart that recalls
When the promise was all that we had*
Into the dust, reckless we rode
Secret desire, talking in code
Bittersweet madness, the stories unfold
I remember those songs on the radio
The jasmine, the wind in your hair
And how it hurts to remember those
( * Repeat)

So quit breaking my heart
With all your broken promises

Broken Promises

So I've blown it all on cures for pain and I've learned to regret the choices I've made. I want
to stay awake for days until the sunlight washes over my face. Forgive, forget, all of our broken
promises, we run to lose it all. These days are darker and they draw me in. I left a trail, but
no one missed me. In the end I'll blend in with a shade I've been, but where should I begin, if I
want to learn to forgive? I felt a chill in the air and you turned as I said your name. A glance
turned to stare and you hardly knew my face, a blank page, an empty safe, things will never be
the same.

Broken Promises

by DURAN DURAN

The day you left me
there was a feeling I have never shown
The day you told me
there were the words that I have never known
And now it's over
So what's left that I should ever feel
cause since the day you left me I have been so alone
And now we're left with broken promises
my heart can't take no more
and now we're left with broken promises
my mind has had enough
Deep inside me
there are things that I have never told
they burn inside me
and now I need to know
Why are you trying to take everything away from me
well I'm begging you
I'm here with nothing left to show
cause since the day you left me I have been so alone
And now we're left with broken promises
my heart can't take no more
And now we're left with broken promises
my mind has had enough
Look at how you turned on me
You ran away and left me here with nothing to see
I'm a man so turn around and say it to me
Don't you think I've got something to say
Look at how you turned on me
You ran away and left me here with nothing to see
I'm a man so turn around and say it to me
Don't you think I've got something to say
Now look at how you turned on me
You ran away and left me here with nothing to see
I'm a man so turn around and say it to me
Don't you think I've got something to say
And now we're left with broken promises
my heart can't take no more
and now we're left with broken promises
my mind has had enough
and now we're left with broken promises
my heart can't take no more
and now we're left with broken promises
my mind has had enough
