Cage of Promises

Looking back on the days of dishonesty

On the days when we drifted apart

Our garden was flowered with fantasy

And our house was furnished with dreams

We said I will never leave you

I will love you now and forever

But all the disappointments

All our doubts were hiding for years

I will never build a cage of promises again

Never give you things I don't want to give

No I will never build a cage of promises just to please you

We had a vision of love and fidelity

That would spare us sorrow and pain

An oasis of warmth and security

All those childish ideas were in vain

Cause we lied to one another

Lied because truth can be painful

All we had in common

All we had to share was a compromise

I will never build a cage of promises again...

And then I was searching for love losing myself

On my own with a tender but foolish heart

She who didn't love me she who didn't want me

Was a woman I was running after

She who really liked me she who really loved me

Was a woman I was running from

But I'd rather be honest and foolish

Than controlled and wise

And I will never build a cage of promises again...
