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
