Remember how it used to be
Remember how you promised me
That life would always be good
You forget the fact you lied to me
You locked my heart and threw the key
I'm so misunderstood
What to say when all the words have gone
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown
Promises, promises
Remember how I gave my heart
And all at once we fell apart
Was I supposed to forgive you
You forgot the fact you said to me
That we were for eternity
You're so easy to see through
What to say when all the words have gone
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown
Promises, promises
Remember that I'm over you
And know that I will make it through
Hope you never forget it
The promises you made to me
Were really lies and fantasy
Hope you come to regret it
What to sa

[00:05.57]Promises
[00:13.70]
[00:20.53]When i think about the turn my life has taken
[00:28.73]I know it s because of you,
[00:33.30]that i receive so many blessings
[00:37.94]I had a home but no privacy,
[00:42.30]i didn t know a thing about my legacy
[00:46.38]When i realized you were there for me,
[00:51.12]i called on your name and you came
[00:53.76]And you did, just what you said,
[00:58.71]for that i ll love you forever
[01:02.10]You kept, your word to me,
[01:07.00]for that i ll love you forever
[01:10.92]A promise, is a promise in my eyes
[01:15.43]Can t say you re gonna just to compromise
[01:19.40]The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
[01:23.33]A promise is a promise you can t deny, there s no way
[01:34.60]
[01:36.25]I think of when there was a young boy, not even two years old
[01:44.28]Blessed with a mother who loved him so,
[01:47.73]she abandoned her dreams to nourish his own
[01:52.71]It wasn t easy for the two of them,
[01:56.88]but she knew she had to give him a chance
[02:00.60]At a better life, it was only right,
[02:06.44]so she worked and she prayed and she did, just what she said,
[02:13.65]for that he ll love her forever
[02:17.04]She kept her word to him,
[02:21.96]for that he ll love her forever
[02:25.90]A promise is a promise, in my eyes
[02:30.27]Can t say you re gonna just to compromise
[02:34.47]The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
[02:38.33]A promise is a promise you can t deny, there s no way
[02:47.06]A man s only as good as his word
[03:08.18]Check this out
[03:10.28]Her wedding day and she s thinking about the way he won her affection
[03:18.32]She was so cynical about love because she didn t want to be heart broken again
[03:26.70]He looked her in her eye with sincerity, said he only wanted to protect her so
[03:34.10]She took a chance on him and she s glad she did because he came for real
[03:42.61]And he did, just what he said,
[03:47.41]for that she ll love him forever
[03:50.93]He kept his word to her,
[03:55.70]for that she ll love him forever
[03:59.64]A promise is a promise, in my eyes
[04:03.94]Can t say you re gonna just to compromise
[04:08.11]The very thing that keeps two hearts intertwined
[04:12.07]A promise is a promise you can t deny, there s no way
[04:20.17]No way, no, there ain t no way
[04:29.18]A man s only as good as his word
[04:30.18]
