These Days - Ron Sexsmith

These Days - Ron Sexsmith/Ronald Eldon Sexsmith
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
Oh these days
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
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
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
Oh these days
Oh oh these days
That's what passes for love
