Promises, promises I'm all through with promises, promises now I don't know how I got the nerve to walk out If I shout, remember I feel free Now I can look at myself and be proud I'm laughing out loud
Oh, promises, promises This is where those promises, promises end I don't pretend that what was wrong can be right Every night I sleep now, no more lies Things that I promised myself fell apart But I found my heart
Oh, promises, their kind of promises, can just destroy a life Oh, promises, those kind of promises, take all the joy from life Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises Can lead to joy and hope and love Yes, love!!
<instrumental interlude>
Every night I sleep now, no more lies Things that I promised myself fell apart But I found my heart
Oh, promises, their kind of promises can just destroy a life Oh, promises, those kind of promises take all the joy from life Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises Can lead to joy and hope and love Yes, love!!
