Can't Live On Promises

Just felt like writing a song this morning.



1.    You've taken it way
        too far
        and I'm a little too wounded
        to care.
        You've crossing over 
        every line
        driving me to the
        edge of despair


2.     I'm livin' large outta
        my head
        out of heart, out 
        of mind.
        I'm lookin' elsewhere
        for love
        Why's a good woman's
        so hard to find.


(Chorus:) 


        I can't live on promises
         with forever passin' me by.
         Now's a good time for
         makin' it real.
         A heart without love will
         wither and die.


3.      I'm a thousand shades
         of blue.
         puttin' my life back together
         again.
         It ain't easy livin'
         without you
         but I don't need a fair-weather
         lover and friend.


(Chorus:)


        I can't live on promises
        with forever passin' me by.
        Now's a good time for
        makin' it real.
        A heart without love will
        wither and die.

Nice hook Lee! Have you considered a repeating line? Maybe something like;

Can't live on promises
with forever passing me by!
Can't live on Promises
Lord knows I've tried
Can't live on Promises
Cuz my love I can't hide.

May be more effective...Good song either way!
