Broken Promises lyrics

Oh I don`t know why people lie
And I don`t know why people die
Every time you see me you shout at me
`Cause of all the things in the world that I can`t see
But what I think goes on in this world
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl
Is that the more you earn, the less you learn
There`s a fire in life where we will burn

And I never could believe it
And it never could be true
For the things that mean so much to me
Don`t mean so much to you
And I never could believe
The way you told me I was wrong
If I`m right and you are sinful
Then for God`s sake I was wrong

Oh, I don`t know how I think this way,
And yet you sit there looking at me all day
There`s more to you than I can see
There`s a shadow of another hanging over me
But what I think goes on in this world
For a mother and a father and a boy and a girl
Is that the more you earn, the less you learn
There`s a fire in life where we will burn

And I never could believe it
And I never could be true
For the things that mean so much to me
Don`t mean so much to you
And I never could believe
The way you told me I was wrong
If I`m right and if you`re sinful
Then for God`s sake I was wrong

Oh, I`d tear you out of heaven
And I`d tear you out of hell
And I`d see your life with me was because
One lies there as well
And I`d cry out in my loneliness
While you sleep in your fears
But you`ll never see my face again
While I need words like these
