Lyrics Cage of Promises - The Real Group

Cage of Promises

Looking back on the days of dishonesty
On the days when we drifted apart
Our garden was flowered with fantasy
And our house was furnished with dreams
We said I will never leave you
I will love you now and forever
But all the disappointments
All our doubts were hiding for years
I will never build a cage of promises again
Never give you things I don’t want to give
No, I will never build a cage of promises just to please you
We had a vision of love and fidelity
That would spare us sorrow and pain
An oasis of warmth and security
All those childish ideas were in vain
'Cause we lied to one another
Lied because the truth can be painful
All we had in common
All we had to share was a compromise
I will never build a cage of promises again
Never give you things I don’t want to give
No, I will never build a cage of promises just to please you
And then I was searching for love, losing myself
On my own with a tender but foolish heart
She who didn’t love me, she who didn’t want me
Was a woman I was running after
She who really liked, me she who really loved me
Was a woman I was running from
But I’d rather be honest and foolish
Than controlled and wise
And I will never build a cage of promises again
Never give you things I don’t want to give
No, I will never build a cage of promises again
Never build a cage of promises again
Never build a cage of promises just to please you
