10,000 Promises

by Max Martin

Once we were lovers
Just lovers we were
Oh what a lie
Once we were dreamers
Just dreamers we were
Both you and I

Now I see you're just somebody
Who wastes all my time
And money
What a lie
You and I

(Chorus)

What about your
Your ten thousand promises
That you gave to me
Your ten thousand promises
That you promised me

Once I could handle the truth
When the truth was you and I
But time after time all the promises
Turned out to be all lies

Now I see I'm just somebody
Who wasted my time and money
What a lie (what a lie)
You and I (you and I)

(Chorus)

You say I'll take you back
But I closed the door
Cuz I don't want
Ten thousand more

Ten thousand promises yeah
Ten thousand promises you gave to me

(Chorus)

Once we were lovers
Just lovers we were
Oh, you and I
What a lie
