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!
Every night I sleep now,

Oh, promises, promises,
my kind of promises
Can lead to joy
and hope
and love
Yes, love!
