Promises Broken Lyrics - Let Your Dim Light Shine - Soul Asylum

Streets are filled with broken glass 

You get buried by the past 

And give me just a little taste 

Lay this mess to waste, take me home 

My mind is racing take me home 

My body's aching so alone 

I'll make you want to stay with me 

Befriended by the enemy, one more time 

And every little thing about this tells me 

Nothing out there is ever gonna help me 

All these words that I hear spoken 

Just promises broken now 

Looking outside from my window sill 

Throw another coin in the wishing well 

Never find what you're looking for 

Fifteen miles, your dim light shines from so far away 

Your sad smile is all I see when I say 

That every little thing about this tells me 

Nothing out there is ever gonna help me 

And all these words that I hear spoken 

Just promises broken now 

From the hotel satellite 

Don't look like you're living right 

Here's a deal you can't refuse 

You ain't got as much to lose 

Can you tell your troubles to 

Someone who won't laugh at you, it's all right 

As I watch you walk away 

Hope a part of you would stay and it's all right 

And every little thing about this tells me 

Nothing out there is ever gonna help me 

All these words that I hear spoken 

Just promises broken now
