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 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... 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...
