Look at me now

This is a different story
I've turned another page
My hands are weaker
And my eyes are showing age

I never wanted much from life
Only what was real
But real is something the mind creates
And the heart believes

Don't promise me anything
I cannot believe
Because I once did
And look at me now

I followed you so far down
I still can't get out
I see my face in the mirror
But I don't recognize my thoughts

I lived on your lies for so long
I became so cynical
I wrote twenty fucked up songs
About trust, love and hope

Don't promise me anything
I cannot believe
Because I once did
And look at me now

This is no love story
Just the opposite you see
It's about how the promise of it
Blinded me
