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 Nights that were unsafe to hope for anything
Lately I have noticed that so much Is not what I imagined it'd be. When the harder times come calling on us We'll know if we're gonna need
(Chorus) Promises Don't promise me Say yes Say no or yes But don't promise
For all the reasons 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'd just know And I would be ready
Lately I have noticed that so much Is not what I'd imagined it'd be When the harder times come calling on us We'll know if we're gonna need
