Promises

Hey little one, I'll be there
Promise...Promise
Yeah babe, this time is yours
Promise...I promise

I remembered every word
Spoken in vain
Trusted every lie
Building on the pain
Too young to learn your grownup part
Now the cat's in the cradle
With a broken heart

Take another piece of me
I'm bleeding as it is
Take another piece of me
But it's all I've got to give

You hear me

I can't even remember
True respect for you
I just hope that it was worth my pain
For you to do what you do

Take you empty promises
No more do I believe...no
Just take your empty promises
I won't hear the lies you speak

Take another piece of me
I'm bleeding as it is
Take another piece of me
But it's all I've got to give

Thank you
My trust is gone
Thank you
I can't even trust myself
Thank you
But never will I be like you
You know why
I play the cards I'm dealt

Don't you take another piece of me
I'm bleeding as it is
Don't you take another piece of me
There's nothing more to give

You hear me
