all those promises
Singer:janis ian
i don't need to know her name
it's enough for me to know she is
i know she is not to blame
did you tell her you were free
after all you said to me?
that you made and left behind
were filled with emptiness
you were never really mine
was just your second best
at how long i still believed
before someone like me sees
don't forget to whisper in her ear
when she wakes alone at night
maybe she will think of me
that you made me from the start
were filled with emptiness
from the desert of your heart
was just your second best
at how long i still believed
before someone like me sees
all those tears you cried
