Lyrics
V1
There’s a bend in the road that I’ve traveled down
an empty road to a hollow frown
looking for my way while
looking for great things to say
there’s a hole in the sky where the sun shines through
a list on my mind with too much to do
looking for a truth that I’ll never find
sitting somewhere at the back of my mind
Buried with my promises
Chorus
I’ve traveled down the road of broken promises
looking for a group accomplices
Somewhere outside this metropolis
down the road of broken promises
V2
I’ve spoken to a man with nothing to gain
looked into his eyes and seen real pain
looking to connect with the fears inside
a place where I don’t have to hide
I heard things that are too good to be true
I made mistakes and then I grew
I’ve been a simpleton and a trusting fool
hoping the world wasn’t overly cruel
On the road of broken promises
bridge
sometimes you just want to believe
in people, in words, in better things
deeds speak, and in the truths we seek
we give in to our hopes even when we are getting weak
