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!!
