Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Every night I sleep now
No more lies
Things that I promised myself
Fell apart
But I found my heart
[Verse 5]
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
