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 won't pretend that what was wrong can be right Every night I'll sleep now, no more lies Things that I promised myself fell apart But I found my heart Oh, promises, their kind of promises take all the joy from life Whoa, promises, those kind of promises can just destroy your life Oh, promises, promises, my kind of promises Can lead to joy and hope and love Yes, love
