Empty Promises

About this track

Lyrics Sometimes silence best replaces what was never spoken. Sometimes broken hearts are stronger, left a little broken. We built castles out of echoes, watched them fade with dawn. Held tomorrow in our hands, then woke to find it gone. Every "forever" disappeared like footprints in the rain. Every smile we tried to save dissolved into the pain. You were reaching for tomorrow, I was chasing yesterday. Two shadows in the same room, slowly drifting different ways. Maybe love was just a fire Burning through the midnight wire. Maybe we were meant to learn Some bridges have no safe return. Empty promises, scattered in the wind. Words without a heartbeat, fading paper-thin. You can paint the sky with reasons, you can dress the truth in light. But empty promises disappear before the morning light. I won't hate the memories; I won't curse your name. Some stories end in silence, but they're beautiful the same. Every photograph remembers people we don't know. Frozen in a perfect frame from years so long ago. I still hear your laughter somewhere underneath the rain. Not enough to call you back, just enough to leave a stain. If I could write another ending, would it change a thing? Would the winter still arrive before the birds could sing? Or would we simply find ourselves where every road has led— Holding all the words we meant but never really said? Maybe time was always stealing Every chance that looked like healing. Maybe scars were always meant To show us where our heaven went. Empty promises, scattered in the wind. Words without a heartbeat, fading paper-thin. You can paint the sky with reasons, you can dress the truth in light. But empty promises disappear before the morning light. I won't hate the memories; I won't curse your name. Some stories end in silence, but they're beautiful the same. So if you ever think about me When the city's sleeping low, Know I kept the best of us And let the rest of it go. Some doors close without a sound, Some dreams fade without goodbye. Love isn't always measured By the reasons why we tried. Empty promises, carried out to sea. Taking all the versions of the you that stayed with me. I don't need another answer, I don't need another lie. Just the quiet understanding that not every love survives. Sometimes silence says enough where words could never be. Sometimes empty promises are all that's left of "we." Sometimes silence best replaces what was never spoken. Sometimes broken hearts are stronger... left a little broken.
