Promises

(album: The Violet Flame - 2014)

It's a quarter-to-twelve
And ain't nobody answering
Fell under your spell
But ooh, that feeling was fleeting

I've had my fill
And I just don't wanna fight any more
I know the stories well
And I just can't take any more

Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We won't get anywhere on our own)

So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
(The will inside me is breaking)
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us
(Nothing remaining of us)

Promises, promises, only promises

Whatever happened to
That tender side I saw in you?
What you made me do
Those things, woah

And I wonder how those vows we made
Ooh they'd evaporate
And like the rain at night it came
Then it was gone

Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We won't get anywhere on our own)

So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
(The will inside me is breaking)
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us
(Nothing remaining of us)

Promises, promises, only promises
Promises, promises, only promises

Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We won't get anywhere on our own)

So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us
(Nothing remaining of us)
