Seems like a lifetime, but it ain't been that long
I thought that together, we could stay strong
Took a while to connect, thought got my message
But you heard it different, had to keep me guessing
At the crossroads standing toe to toe
The story's still the same, you've got to go, go, go
So many promises getting in the way
How many will it take to make you want to stay
So many promises tying you down
What's it gonna take to keep you around
So many promises
Seen it all before, but I still get surprised
I keep getting knocked down as I start my rise
I hope this time it's different, but I've seen the road ahead
The turns are all the same, I'm getting tired of this game
At the crossroads standing toe to toe
The story's still the same, you've got to go, go, go
So many promises getting in the way
How many will it take to make you want to stay
So many promises tying you down
What's it gonna take to keep you around
So many promises
Sitting on the fence, trying to make my decision
But it's all crumbling down, subtraction through division
Hiding the questions only clouds the answers
If you've got to fly to be free, then just let me be
At the crossroads standing toe to toe
The story's still the same, you've got to go, go, go
So many promises getting in the way
How many will it take to make you want to stay
So many promises tying you down
What's it gonna take to keep you around
So many promises
Keeping you down
I'll believe it when I see it
