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
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!
