you promised me the moon and stars

you promised me the moon and stars
and I wanted to believe every word
but I knew in the end you would fall
and naively I listened to your hypnotic
voice falling for those seductive eyes
as you promised me the moon and stars

and I should have known better
this was not my first time yet
like a schoolgirl I fell for every line
I was hungry for love and was drawn
to you like a moth to flame when
you promised me the moon and stars

now I stand at the edge of the sea
watching my heart drift into the deep
once again you fly into those sunsets
that always leave me cold in the end
I wanted to believe every word when
you promised me the moon and stars
