A lifetime filled with cheating hearts,
 all echo from my past.
 The "promise true's" and "I love you's",
 each one was meant to last.
 So, fine was this line of sharing,
 built with honesty and trust.
 Each vow's now left inside my head,
 to slowly gather dust.

 I struggle to tomorrow,
 searching hope, yet walking blind.
 While broken dreams and silent screams, 
 play re-runs in my mind.
 I try to shake each past mistake,
 and meet what lies ahead.
 While hearing cold reminders of 
 these promises once said.

 It's hard to feel what's wrong from real,
 when shadows dim the light.
 I close my eyes and dream a dream 
 of heaven every night.
 It's all I know, this history, 
 I hold a guiding hand?
 These scars I show, a lesson that 
 I yet don't understand?

 Another day awaits me,
 in this life I call my own.
 A cruel delay frustrates me,
 as I face this world alone.
 Let words once said and tears long shed,
 rest peaceful in this heart.
 I know the pain of love in vain,
 will always play its part.

 With open arms I welcome such 
 new dreams as may arise,
 I only pray to find one day,
 a love... without good-byes.
