Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once we were lovers
Just lovers we were
Oh, what a lie
Once we were dreamers
Just dreamers we were
Oh, you and I
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see you're just somebody
Who wastes all my time and money
What a lie, you and I
[Chorus]
What about your
Your 10,000 promises
That you gave to me?
Your 10,000 promises
That you promised me
[Verse 2]
Once I could handle the truth
When the truth was you and I, mmmh
But time after time
All the promises turned out to be all lies
And now...
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I see you're just somebody
Who wasted my time and money
What a lie
Oh what a lie (What a lie)
You and I (Oh you and I)
[Chorus]
What about your
Your 10,000 promises
That you gave to me? (To me, baby)
Your 10,000 promises
That you promised me
[Bridge]
You say I'll take you back
But I closed the door
'Cause I don't want 10,000 more
[Interlude]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
10,000 promises yeah
10,000 promises you gave to me
[Chorus]
What about your
Your 10,000 promises
That you gave to me?
Your 10,000 promises
That you promised me
(What about your)
Your 10,000 promises
(10,000 promises you gave to me)
That you gave to me?
(What about your, what about your)
Your 10,000 promises
(10,000 promises you gave to me)
[Outro]
Once we were lovers
Just lovers we were
Oh you and I, what a lie
