Promises Songtext
von Jerry Spin

My promises
Snuck up on me
All at once
Unsuspectedly
I′m suspiciously calm
As I string you along
And kiss you goodnight
Goodnight
I just keep making these promises
Promises I can't keep
The problem is I′m knee‑deep
Up to my chin in guarantees
That I can't live up to and will
Backfire on me
I'll let us down eventually
I′ll let us both down
I chicken out. I leave the house a mess
The front door′s half open
Shattered glass on the stairs
Reality caught up on the dream


Family man, don't make a scene
′Cause I can't take back
What I said
The problem is
Promise is, promise is debt
I can′t take back
What I said
The problem is
Promises, promises, promises
I just keep making these promises
Promises I can't keep
The problem is I′m knee‑deep
Up to my chin in guarantees
That I can't live up to and will
Backfire on me
I'll let us down eventually
I′ll let us both down
I′ll let us down eventually
I'll let us both down
I just keep making these promises
Promises I can′t keep
