Story Behind the Song
Written lyrically by Robert Taylor who has asked a few people to write a song around the lyrics. I tried to capture a desparation that I could feel in the words.
Lyrics
Promising Lies
VERSE 1
Its so hard to believe, love can fall right at your feet,
I only saw the bait I never saw the trap,
Going through the motions, live from day to day,,
Memories of you wont let me find a way
Oh let me find a way
CHORUS
But You told, such promising lies,
You stabbed me in the back while I still looked you in the eyes,
Now you’ve left me I see with some surprise
That you told such promising lies
VERSE 2
You said you’d always love me, stay inside, inside my world
I’d be the oyster and you could be my pearl
Clinging to the wreckage, dancing to the tune
Walking out the room when there’s a row in the room,
I just close my eyes
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Yeah, Oh, dreams that were forever,
You who held my future
Laying in the dust broken with your trust calmly in your hand,
You through it away, for another woman
Yeah
CHORUS
Ohhhhh
VERSE 3
Frightened of the quiet nights inside, inside my head,
Fighting off the deamons, deep within my head
