Promises
“Promises” is a pop rock song about having a relationship with an unreliable person. Everybody has that particular friend or acquaintance who wants to keep deadlines, bring stuff back, or become a better person. But these people never learn. Shall we go along with them, or is it better to walk away? This song is part of my album “Going My Way”.
Promises sweet promises
You begged me to hold on
Then without a warning you walked away
You were gone
Time, it took some time
To feel alive feel strong
Then you came back with those famous excuses
I believed you I was so wrong
Baby I can’t do this anymore
There’s nothing left to spend
I could never be more sure
That I won’t be your dead end
I promise you…
Oh I believe in miracles
And turning water into wine
But I’m wise to your false prophecy
Not even you can turn back time
The years have shown me how to read
The danger in your eyes
The open road ahead of me
Every mile is mine
Baby I can’t do this anymore
There’s nothing left to spend
I could never be more sure
That I won’t be your dead end
I promise you…
I promise you…
I promise you…
I promise you…
