"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
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 these days

and it won't take a miracle darling just keep it real
this world can make us cynical darling i know how it feels
you took it to heart what they said on the screen
but love is not just playing a part in some very scripted scene

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
