We promised we would never stop dreaming
But when the nightmares began we gave up hope
We let go of our hands and spoke only of reality
We forgot that waking up from a nightmare is the most powerful dream
And so we kept living in this nightmare without dreams.

We promised we would never say empty words
But then we started talking of forever while thinking of someone else
And so our past began to shade our future
And words were emptier than silence, the heavy, guilty silence.
It was then we started walking our separate ways alone.

We promised to never lie about tomorrow
But when we opened our eyes and saw that we were strangers
We fooled ourselves believing yesterdays were hidden among the shadowed tomorrows
We kept on playing a game of cheating
And we woke up one day sickened of each other's smile.

We promised we would never forget how our skins smelled together
But too soon we started hidding ourselves behind parfumes
Hidding the smell of death, of cheating, of lying, of despair
Pretending the world could mimic our perfume
And so we mixed too many flavours on and on until we were wearing just the smell of sham.

And so I ask you this:
How many time cand you bend a heart before it breaks for good?
