Lyrics
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.
Just to tell you that she's sorry
But she loves me more than you
Did you do all the good things I said
Don't worry 'cause you do.
She made promises to you
Promises of good things to come
But they never do.
Will you try to make believe
It's not as easy as it seems
You forget about all the promises
But you can't stop your dreams.
She made promises to you
Promises of good things to come
But they never do.
Does it mean that much to you
Go through the changes that you do
I could be satisfied
But she's never try.
Does it mean that much to you
Go through the changes that you do
I could be satisfied
But she's never try.
Would you ask me what to do
My advice to you today
Is to tell her how you really feel
Or you'll have some dues to pay.
She made promises to you
Promises of good things to come
But they never do...
