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
