Promises

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] '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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] '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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
