Don't Make Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It seems the songs we're singing are all about tomorrow
Tunes of promises you can't keep
Every moment bringing the love I can only borrow
You're telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where you want me staying?
Don't go on betraying it
Don't make promises you can't keep
We had a chance to find it, our time was now or never
You promised me things that I need
But then the things behind it took away the chance forever
You're telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it?
Is it hard to keep me where you want me staying?
Don't go on betraying it
Don't make promises you can't keep
Don't make promises you can't keep
