1
Well, I remember sneaking in through her parent's back door
2
In the middle of the night, in the middle of the storm
3
To tell her she was all I would ever need
4
And that the promises I made were the promises I'd keep
5
I was shaking like a leaf and soaking to the bone
6
But I swore to her that night she'd never run alone
7
"˜Cause promises are all you've got to give
8
When you're burning with desire but you're just a kid
9
And promises are all you wanna hear
10
It don't matter that they're just gonna disappear
11
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
12
They make you feel alive, like you're worth a little more
13
That's what promises are for
14
She went to college and we both fell out of touch
15
I got a job tending bar, didn't make that much
16
I wonder if she met a guy to love her like I did
17
Or if she looked him in the eye and made a promise like I did
18
I could never give her up, not without looking back
19
When we gave ourselves away I thought we made a pact
20
"˜Cause promises are all you've got to give
21
When you're burning with desire but you're just a kid
22
And promises are all you wanna hear
23
It don't matter that they're just gonna disappear
24
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
25
They make you feel alive, like you're worth a little more
26
That's what promises are for
27
See, I've been taking stock while the days roll on
28
I think about her when the night gets calm
29
So what if we were young, so what if I was wrong
30
Well, I believed in her and trusted all along
31
"˜Cause promises are all you've got to give
32
When you're burning with desire but you're just a kid
33
And promises are all you wanna hear
34
It don't matter that they're just gonna disappear
35
They might only last a night, but then another one is born
36
They make you feel alive, like you're worth a little more
37
That's what promises are for
