Lyrics
D'you make these promises to everyone?
I feel I've been abused by your love
When we started it all I was a genuine man
But four years of lies have killed all that I am

You see I only know the things I'm told
You said you'd always be there even when we grow old
I took you at your every word
That naivety made me live and learn

You may well only have been twenty nine
But you were past your prime and running out of time
It looked to me like you'd hit middle age
And a battle raged as you turned a page

Now I'm left with this pain
And it won't go away
It's a mighty bad taste
And such a damn waste
After all of the years
You confirmed all my fears
Should have been no surprise
That your words were all lies

All the years and all the lies
And I still never realized
All the years and all the lies
But I'll still never compromise

Want you to know the pain I'm feeling now
And make you see just how you fucking let me down
I hope that when you've someone in your bed
That I'll be in your head making you feel regret

I hope you never find a love that lasts
As you have too much dirt lurking in your past
You said you'd only done these things with me
Then you listed so many from your history

I wouldn't do these things unless I cared
If I wasn't sure that I'd be always there
But you took my total faith in you
And threw it back at me when you were through

So now the music has to be enough
I can no longer indulge in thoughts of love
Sometimes I think I'm close to feeling hate
Now I'm left with simply photos and a videotape

I've never felt this low before
I've never felt I'd seriously end it all
But I ain't never gonna let you win
And get the satisfaction of me giving in

So now I feel I should be seeking help
But if I take those pills then you should foot my bill
'Cause you're the reason that I'm so messed up
That I no longer trust, that I've lost faith in love

I can't believe that you could pledge so much
And give me so much love, before then giving up
So where the fucking hell is tolerance?
That main ingredient in anything that lasts

The table turned and then you lost that edge
Decided on the end, despite my very best
You couldn't wait to get out again
Chalking up more men, like you did back then

I'm only guilty of a single crime
That's living my own life in a way that's mine
I stated that to you right from the start
Before you broke my heart and left me torn apart

Meant every motherfucking word
Every sentence you heard
And you said the same stuff
I thought love was enough
Your priorities changed
You became just the same
As those old haggard fools
Who give in to the rules
You said I was the one
That you'd never give up
But how quickly you changed
Leaving me with the blame
Now you've taken my youth
And distorted the truth
And those innocent days
Seem so far away

All the years and all the lies
And now I've so much to despise
All the lies all the years
And now I'm crying genuine tears
All the years and all the lies
But I still never realized
All the years and all the lies
And I've never yet compromised

Compromised
Compromised
I've never yet compromised
