Lilly Wood

They built the city halls, and streets
That the people would walk in
They made promises, and guilt
Was never far away

Why is it that people believe?
And why is it that people pay?
Why is it that sugar is sweet?
Like a devil in disguise they say

I won't make fake promises to you he said
I won't lie all the time like mothers and fathers do
Won't make it all good just for you he said
Better learn to cope before
It gets too hard on you

Please let the music play
Put a soundtrack to this reck
I got a friend here who don't want to stay
Get on a boat and sail away

How did I get so old so fast?
Where did the brother and the sisters go?
I told you that the love wouldn't last
Just like the rest, it will pass

I won't make fake promises to you he said
I won't lie all the time like mothers and fathers do
Won't make it all good just for you he said
Better learn to cope before
It gets too hard on you
