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 can breathe
Now I can look at myself and be proud
I'm laughing out loud

Promises, promises this is where
Those promises, promises end
I won'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, promises
Can take all the joy from life
Oh promises, promises
Can just destroy your life
Oh promises, promises
My kind of promises
Can lead to joy and hope and love
Yes love!

(Instrumental break)

Oh promises, promises
Can take all the joy from life
Oh promises, promises
Can just destroy your life
Oh promises, promises
My kind of promises
Can to lead to joy and hope and love
Yes love!
