Promise to Keep

Love comes along
It's so safe and secure
Then it gets you so high
And it opens the door
But each morning you wake
And you look yourself dead in the face

Are you livin' a lie?
Have you fallen from grace?
Are you torn into bits
By the choice that you made?
And a voice in your heart
Keeps on callin' you back to the mess

And you're all alone
And you're in so deep
Miles and miles to go
Before you sleep.1
You got that promise to keep

And you've got all those friends
And it hurts to say no
But you ain't got the time
And you gotta let go
And there's so many favors
You know you may never pay back

In the still of the night
So damn hungry for you
So I pick up the phone
Just to talk it through
But you're already gone
It cuts like a knife
I can never go back

And I'm all alone
And I'm in so deep
As they raise the stakes
It's gettin' steep
I got a promise to keep

Who's that knockin' at my door?
You can't come here anymore
It ain't personal, you see
It's just the way it's got to be

I can't help myself no more
I know what I got in store
The promise I made so long ago
The promise will never let me go, no, no

There's a promise I want
There's a promise I need
There's a promise I made
There's a promise I'll keep

There's a promise I want
There's a promise I need
There's a promise I made
There's a promise I'll keep

There's a promise I wa-wa-wa-want
There's a promise I need
There's a promise I made
There's a promise I'll keep

There's a promise
I wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-want
There's a promise I need
