Promises

So tell me how you're gonna live your life alone
Nobodies gonna hurt you now my dear
Tell me how you call this place a home
When no-one is allowed to get too near

And nothing's gonna break your heart
Nothing's gonna steal your joy away
Nothing's gonna take all that you have
And nothing's gonna push you down
Pin you to the floor and make you pay
No nothing's gonna break your heart so bad

Like promises, like promises

So give me all the comfort of your arms
Hold me close and never let me go
Tell me how you're gonna keep me safe from harm
Tell me how was I supposed to know

'Cause, you said you'd never break my heart
You're never gonna steal my joy away
You're never gonna take all that I have
And you said you'd never push me down
Pin me to the floor and make me pay
No you're never gonna break my heart so bad

I don't believe your promises, so you can keep those promises
But I don't want, I don't want, I don't want to be alone

So I'm never gonna break your heart
Never gonna steal your joy away
I'm never gonna take all that you have
And I'm never gonna push you down
Pin you to the floor and make you pay
No I'm never gonna break your heart so bad

But don't believe my promises, 'cause I can't keep these promises, no we don't keep our promises

So tell me how you're gonna live your life alone

Promises

Lyrics:

Right from the start I felt abandoned, giving all the love demanded, took whatever I was handed
And when I woke up you were gone, I taught myself to walk alone, heart broke on the day that I was born

But I want to grow old with you, love the way you told me to, hold you close and oh my darling you should know, that I won't ever let you go, 'cause all I want is you and I to 
Grow old, well I want to grow old with you

And you were able to accept it, feeling loved and not rejected, takes more than I had expected
But life's right out here on the table, from the grave back to the cradle, I would take it all so gratefully

'Cause I want to grow old with you, love the way you told me to, hold you close and oh my darling you should know, that I won't ever let you go, 'cause all I want is you and I to 
Grow old, well I want to grow old with you

Deep inside I'm terrified that I will tear it all apart, end up driving you away
I should have known I would be giving you my heart, and be the one to hear you say

That I want to grow old with you, love the way you told me to, hold you close and oh my darling you should know, that I won't ever let you go, 'cause all I want is you and I to 
Grow old, well I want to grow old with you

I want to grow old, I want to grow old with you
