Couples gather on the street
No way they notice me
But I watch them walk together
And it reminds me
Of nights when everyone was gone
And I ended up alone
Lights that were unsafe
To hold for anything

But lately I have noticed
That so much is not what
I'd imagined it to be
When the harder times come calling on us
We'll know if we're gonna need…

Promises
Don't promise me
Say yes, say no or yes
But don't promise…

For all the reason not to try
I can't forget the times, I swore
That if I finally knew
The answers to my prayers those nights
When it came time to decide
I just know
That I would be ready…

But lately I have noticed
That so much is not what
I'd imagined it to be
When the harder times come calling on us
We'll know if we're gonna need…

Promises
Don't promise me
Say yes, say no or yes
But don't promise me

Lately I have noticed
That so much is not what
I'd imagined it to be
When the harder times come calling on us
We'll know if we're gonna need…

Promises
Don't promise me
Say yes, say no or yes
But don't promise me

Don't Promise…
Don't Promise me
Say yes, say no or yes…
