Empty Promises at the Funeral

[female vocals] Chale,

eii...

My

heart

is

heavy

today

Listen

to

my

story

You

promised

me

the

world

with

your

five

hundred

cedis

Said

you’

d

take

care

of

everything,

you

were

so

ready

I

waited

for

the

cash,

I

waited

for

your

call

But

deep

inside

my

heart,

I

knew

you

would

let

me

fall

You

talked

about

the

funeral,

said

you’

d

be

by

my

side

But

all

I

see

is

silence

and

nowhere

left

to

hide

Oh,

you

disappointed

me,

you

broke

my

trust

again

You

left

me

at

the

funeral,

standing

in

the

rain

You

said

you

went

and

came

back,

but

I

know

it's

just

a

lie

My

heart

is

full

of

pain,

and

I’

m

asking

myself

why

Chale,

you

disappointed

me,

you

left

me

all

alone

I

gave

you

all

my

love,

but

you

turned

your

heart

to

stone

I

spent

my

hard-earned

money,

made

the

preparations

grand

Waiting

for

my

partner,

holding

out

my

hand

But

you

didn't

show

up,

you

didn't

even

care

Just

another

hollow

promise

vanishing

in

thin

air

Wonim?

You

know

exactly

what

you

did

to

me

Leaving

me

in

sorrow

while

you

roam

so

free

Oh,

you

disappointed

me,

you

broke

my

trust

again

You

left

me

at

the

funeral,

standing

in

the

rain

You

said

you

went

and

came

back,

but

I

know

it's

just

a

lie

My

heart

is

full

of

pain,

and

I’

m

asking

myself

why

Chale,

you

disappointed

me,

you

left

me

all

alone

I

gave

you

all

my

love,

but

you

turned

your

heart

to

stone

I

see

the

truth

now,

the

mask

has

finally

slipped

The

cup

of

our

affection

has

finally

been

tipped

No

more

games,

no

more

lies

about

the

money

you

claim

I’

m

washing

my

hands,

I’

m

done

with

this

sad

game

Oyiwa,

the

lesson

is

learned

and

the

sorrow

is

deep

Promises

are

easy

but

the

silence

is

what

I

keep

You

were

never

there

when

the

shadows

grew

long

Now

I’

m

moving

on,

finally

finding

my

own

song

Oh,

you

disappointed

me,

you

broke

my

trust

again

You

left

me

at

the

funeral,

standing

in

the

rain

You

said

you

went

and

came

back,

but

I

know

it's

just

a

lie

My

heart

is

full

of

pain,

and

I’

m

asking

myself

why

Chale,

you

disappointed

me,

you

left

me

all

alone

I

gave

you

all

my

love,

but

you

turned

your

heart

to

stone

You

left

me

all

alone,

yeah

Just

a

hollow

promise,

empty

and

cold

I’

m

stronger

now,

the

truth

has

been

told

Goodbye

to

the

lies,

goodbye

to

the

pain

Chale,

never

again.
