Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the sorrow and the pain
All the sacrifice in vain
I was much too blind to see
You make a loser out of me
You put me down for oh so long
While you sang your serpent's song
[Verse 2]
The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I've been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
[Verse 3]
Your cut was quick and deep
But then
You thought you'd never need a friend
But all things change
And tides must turn
You let all your bridges burn
Too many fatal wounds to heal
[Verse 4]
Now you're feeling
What I feel
The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
[Verse 5]
All the sorrow and the pain
All the sacrifice in vain
But all things change
Tides must turn
You let all your bridges burn
Too many fatal wounds to heal
[Verse 6]
Now you're feeling
What I feel
The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I been down so low
Nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies
[Verse 7]
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
Promises and lies
