Your Thick Is Thin, Your Thin's Wanting

You promise this, you promise that, you promise everything

A promise means what you say you'll do is done regardless of who wins

You promised me that you'd stay with me through the hard times - the lows, you know - through thick and thin

Your thick is thin, your thin's wanting, your promises don't mean a thing

You turn away when the winds set in, when the cold embrace takes hold

It's me the person that you love your kicking into the cold

Where is your strength, where is your grit, did you mean any of it?

That ring on your finger is no trinket, it's supposed to mean something

Love is not a game, love is not nothing, love is worth more than anything 

Love can't be measured by currency, love surely has to win

If love means so little in this day and age, what's the point in living?
