No one ever promised anything No one ever promised you anything 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 No one gets something for nothing No one is something for nothing So keep yourself intact Your emotions in check And your feelings well-pent No it's just never meant to be Easy or true, easy or true And trust is earned not bought And love isn't burned, it's sought But no one speaks the truth anymore No one speaks the truth 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
