Don’t Make Promises Lyrics

It seems the songs you're singing
Are all about tomorrow
Tunes of promises that you can't keep
Every moment bringing
A love I can only borrow
You're telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying
Don't go on betraying it

Don't make promises you can't keep

We had a chance to find it
Our time was now or never
You promised me things that I need
But then the things behind it
Took away the chance forever
You're telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I'm not aware
Of what you're saying
Or why you're saying it
Is it hard to keep me where
You want me staying
Don't go on betraying it
Don't make promises you can't keep

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
