These Days

Promises are made to be broken Haven't you heard? He said he'd never break your heart Now haven't you learned? You believed in the words In all that they meant Oh, but love is not some popular song Filled with empty sentiment That's what passes for love That's what passes for love these days It won't take a miracle, darlin' Just keep it real This world can make us cynical, darlin' I know how it feels You took it to heart What they said on the screen Oh, but love is not just playing a part In some very scripted scene That's what passes for love That's what passes for love these days No one can complete you or make you whole But love will come to greet you half way Though the streets are never paved with gold Promises are made to be broken Haven't you heard? He said he'd never break your heart Now haven't you learned? You believed in the words In all that they meant Oh, but love is not some popular song Filled with empty sentiment That's what passes for love That's what passes for love That's what passes for love these days
