Hollow Truth
Somewhere in the darkest shadows
A promise lays void and broken
A testament to a broken heart
And evey word that's spoken
Where do broken promises go?
Do they fade away and die?
Or do they live in empty hearts,
'Til they grow into a lie?
Before a promise is broken
Someone has to care
Shattered trust, an empty shell
A feeling of despair
Betrayal is a way of life
And the mark of every liar
But the truth not only sets you free
It's also tried by fire
Where do broken promises go?
In wicked hearts to hide?
Or a hollow truth with no regrets
In the minds of those who lied
