A lifetime filled with cheating hearts
  all echo from my past
The "promise true's" and "I love you's"
  each one 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 don't yet 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 goodbyes
