[Verse]
Promises like smoke in the air
They whisper sweet but leave you bare
I built my trust on shifting sand
Now I’m alone with empty hands
[Chorus]
Love is nothing but rotten
Every vow gets forgotten
The ones who say they’ll stay
Are the first to walk away
[Verse 2]
Your words were knives in velvet sleeves
Cut me deep then watched me bleed
I held on tight to broken glass
Hoping love could make it last
[Prechorus]
But hearts crack like porcelain
And never glue back again
[Chorus]
Love is nothing but rotten
Every vow gets forgotten
The ones who swear they’re true
Are the first to leave you too
[Bridge]
They carve their names in your soul
Then vanish
Leave a hollow hole
Lies taste sweet till they decay
And leave the bitter truth to stay
