Story Behind The Song

Young woman is mislead by the false words of her lover

Lyrics

You thought it was love, but a night
Of passion was all it was, and now your
Life requires so much, you've gotta stay
At home and do the things you thought
You'd only do when you were grown
Cause you have a responsibilty, you made
A choice and now you can no longer be free

Broken promises are what was made that night
And now you're gonna have to pay for the
Rest of your life, if you could take it back, I'm
Sure that you would, cause you realized that
Broken promises are no good

He said he loved you, and "if you loved him"
You should want it too, well look where that has
Gotten you, it's not your fault, you wanted to
Believe everything he said to you, but in the end
It was all a bunch of lies to go with his disguise

Broken promises are what was made that night
And now you're gonna have to pay for the
Rest of your life, if you could take it back, I'm
Sure that you would, cause you realized that
Broken promises are no good

The two arms that held him tight must now embrace
A new life, one you weren't ready for, but now must
Love with all your might, one thing lost, another gained
Both things causing so much pain, you wish you could
Go back in time and erase it all, and erase it all

Broken promises are what was made that night
And now you're gonna have to pay for the
Rest of your life, if you could take it back, I'm
Sure that you would, cause you realized that
Broken promises are no good
