"Don't Make Promises" lyrics
"Don't Make Promises"
It seems the songs you're singing
Are all about tomorrow
Tunes of promises that you can't keep
Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow
You're telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying
Don't go on betraying it
Don't make promises you can't keep
We had a chance to find it
Our time was now or never
You promised me things that I need
But then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever
You're telling me lies in your sleep
Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying
Don't go on betraying it
Don't make promises you can't keep

all my life though some have changed
