Promises unkept

You said you'd teach me to hit the road

Show me how to drive

Promised me freedom beyond the sky

But all you did was wave goodbye

Promises unkept

They pile up high

Like a list of dreams you let slip by

Tired of words that never come true

I’m done waiting for the likes of you

You said we'd saddle up

Ride the plains

Feel the wind as it yanks the reins

Instead

I’m stuck here on the ground

Chasing echoes of your hollow sound

Promises unkept

They pile up high

Like a list of dreams you let slip by

Tired of words that never come true

I’m done waiting for the likes of you

Every excuse

A line I’ve heard

Lace me with hope and then shred the word

I’ve taught myself to break this chain

Let me steer through my own

Unclaimed terrain

Promises unkept

They pile up high

Like a list of dreams you let slip by

Tired of words that never come true

I’m done waiting for the likes of you

Promised to learn how to drive

Never have

Promised to learn to ride

Yet again

Never happen

I'm so tired of these broken promises.

Tired of the excuses

Ohh ohhhh

Ohh ohhhh

No more

Promises unkept
