When I first met you I just wanted to leave everything
And fall in love too fast and make it last forever
Baby, I know it’s wrong, but it feels so right
So hard to say no to something you want
Promises, promises
Oh, promises, promises
Promises, promises
They are so hard to keep
If we only knew
God if we only knew
Those promises
How come they’re so hard to keep?
And the best thing was I believed you cause all I wanted was to believe
I trade my faith for truth and hope it remains forever
Sweetheart, I know it’s wrong, but it feels so right
So hard to say no to something you need
Promises, promises
Oh, promises, promises
Promises, promises
They are so hard to keep
If we only knew
God if we only knew
Those promises
You said that we could run away
And just get out of here,
Yeah just get out of here
I see the door in front of us
We could travel through,
Yeah we could travel through
Promises, promises
Oh, promises, promises
I trade anything for your promises
Trade my faith for truth
If we only knew,
Yeah if we only knew
Oh, those promises
How come they’re so hard to keep?
