Promises of Later Days - 11.10.07
What happened to the boy I first met
The one who had the heart of gold
I think he lost it sometime along the way
Or maybe he just forgot how it used to beat
You said all of those words
And I bought them without question
Made promises of later days
I'm finding out you don't know how to keep them
I let you inside my head
Just a little bit
I gave you pieces of me
That I can't ever get back again
When I hated that I was telling you secrets
You told me "Your secrets are safe with me"
After all these lies,
And promises broken
I want to give up and walk away
But I still have a little spark of hope
Someday, you'll be the boy I first met
Keeping the promises of later days
What happened to the boy I first met
The one who had the heart of gold

Or maybe he just forgot how it used to beat
You said all of those words
And I bought them without question
Made promises of later days
I'm finding out you don't know how to keep them
I let you inside my head
Just a little bit
I gave you pieces of me
That I can't ever get back again
When I hated that I was telling you secrets
You told me "Your secrets are safe with me"
After all these lies,
And promises broken
I want to give up and walk away
But I still have a little spark of hope
Someday, you'll be the boy I first met
Keeping the promises of later days
