Lyrics:

This day is not my life
The passing time is not my life
The thorn that's in my side is all these scenes that we regret
Wasted words we can't forget

Through the windows of my room
I hear the traffic breathing slowly
Someplace miles away
Make promises pay

Shame
Will shake this house
Shame
Will shake this house

Your dreams are not my life
These broken words are not my life
Your lies are none of my invention
Your promises were not my plan

Now the party girls have gone
I hear the rattle of their heels
Before their footsteps fade
Make promises pay

Shame
Will shake this house
Shame
Will shake this house

The passing time is not my life
I've been counted down and shouted out
I had everything I wanted, nothing I can't rise above
To let it show was not my plan

Headlines and front pages
Sell weddings and divorces
Make promises pay
Make promises pay

Shame
Will shake this house
Shame
Will shake this house
Shame
