[Verse 1]
You said forever, you said always
That you’d be with me through the darkest days
You whispered words I wanted so much to believe
Said there was nothing that could ever make you leave
We carved our names into the tree
Said “nothing comes between you and me”
Every vow felt solid, every word felt true
But time turned all those promises into something I never knew
[Pre‑Chorus]
Where did they go, those words you spoke?
Faded like smoke into the cold
You made it sound so easy, made it sound so real
Now I’m left wondering how I could feel
So sure of something that was never meant to stay
Just promises you gave and then walked away
[Chorus]
All those promises unkept
Just empty words that I can’t forget
You said you’d hold me, said you’d never stray
But you let every single one of them slip away
I believed in every promise that you said
Now they’re just ghosts inside my head
Promises unkept…
And I’m still here with nothing left
[Verse 2]
You said no distance, no time apart
Could ever change the beating of your heart
Said when things got hard we’d work it out
That we’d never let our love run out
But when the road got rough and the sky turned gray
You turned around and simply walked away
Leaving behind a trail of words that meant so much
Now they’re just dust I can no longer touch
[Pre‑Chorus]
Where did they go, those words you spoke?
Faded like smoke into the cold
You made it sound so easy, made it sound so real
Now I’m left wondering how I could feel
So sure of something that was never meant to stay
Just promises you gave and then walked away
[Chorus]
All those promises unkept
Just empty words that I can’t forget
You said you’d hold me, said you’d never stray
But you let every single one of them slip away
I believed in every promise that you said
Now they’re just ghosts inside my head
Promises unkept…
And I’m still here with nothing left
[Bridge]
Maybe you didn’t mean them at the time
Or maybe love just changes with the tide
But why say things you knew you couldn’t keep?
Why build me up just to watch me fall asleep
In dreams of what we were supposed to be
Waking up to the truth that you were never really with me
Just words… just words… nothing more than words…
[Chorus]
All those promises unkept
Just empty words that I can’t forget
You said you’d hold me, said you’d never stray
But you let every single one of them slip away
I believed in every promise that you said
Now they’re just ghosts inside my head
Promises unkept…
And I’m still here with nothing left
[Outro]
Yeah…
Promises…
Words that meant everything…
Until they didn’t…
Promises unkept…
Just memories now…
