[verse]
noone ever promised anything
noone ever promised you anything
[bridge]
so keep your eyes wide open
and your heart well guarded
and your mouth firmly closed
no it's just not supposed to be
simple or fair
simple or fair
[verse] noone gets something for nothing noone is something for nothing
[bridge] so keep yourself intact your emotions in check and your feelings well sent no it's just never meant to be easy or true easy or true
[chorus]
and trust is earned not bought
and love isn't burned it's sought
but noone speaks the truth anymore
noone speaks the truth
[bridge] so keep your eyes wide open and your heart well guarded and your mouth firmly closed no it's just not supposed to be simple or fair simple or fair
