"Promises" lyrics

I could play your dirty game
Spin a web around your name
Keep my feelings for myself, yeah
And I could look into your eyes
Tell you all those pretty lies
But I don't play those games so well

'Cause if I take a risk, gotta risk it all
I believe that even if I fall
Never ever let love bring me down
I will never turn around

Promises made for fools
But I crushed my heart upon it
Promise and trusted in you
'Cause I was away upon it
Are promises made of dreams
Or something a lot more solid?
'Cause some of them tear at the seams
But I bet my life upon it

I used to hide beneath my skin
I watched the others dive right in
Scared of shattering my dreams, yeah
I've been waiting on the edge
Static running through my hair
Finally I dived in deep

'Cause if I take a risk, gotta risk it all
I believe that even if I fall
Never ever let love bring me down
I will never turn around

Promises made for fools
But I crushed my heart upon it
Promise and trusted in you
'Cause I was away upon it
Are promises made of dreams
Or something a lot more solid?
'Cause some of them tear at the seams
But I bet my life upon it

Oh no, good intentions
It's sending my heart in the wrong direction
All my good intentions
Always sending my heart in the wrong direction
All those good intentions
People say: "girl, you better change direction"
All my good intentions
I guess I'll better get some self-protection

Promises made for fools
But I crushed my heart upon it
Promise and trusted in you
'Cause I was away upon it
Are promises made of dreams
Or something a lot more solid?
'Cause some of them tear at the seams
But I bet my life upon it

Promises made for fools
But I crushed my heart upon it
Promise and trusted in you
'Cause I was away upon it
Are promises made of dreams
Or something a lot more solid?
'Cause some of them tear at the seams
But I bet my life upon it

Oh no, good intentions
It's sending my heart in the wrong direction
All my good intentions
Always sending my heart in the wrong direction
All those good intentions
People say: "girl, you better change direction"
All my good intentions
I guess I'll better get some self-protection
