[Verse 1]
It started as a low note.
It turned into a high rise.
Sink into the fault lines,
Turned into a valley sky.
Started off with high hopes,
now I think it's high time
that I just be honest
my castles before high tide
[Pre Chorus]
and I close my eyes,
it is over yet?
So I hold my breath.
[Chorus]
Please keep in mind,
promises, promises.
Keep in mind our promise you, promise I
will keep in line,
promises, promises.
[Verse 2]
Why couldn't you believe me
When I said I was leaving?
And now the colors bleeding
From the tired western sky
Believing isn't seeing.
There's hungers were all feeding
The message is decoded,
to buy or sell a lie
[Pre Chorus]
and I close my eyes,
it is over yet?
So I hold my breath.
[Chorus]
Please keep in mind,
promises, promises.
Keep in mind our promise you, promise I
will keep in line,
promises, promises.
[Bridge]
caged birds don't sing
like they ought to
or used to
and freedom ain't free
that is something
I'm used to
And I once believed
In someone, I should be
But dreams are for sleeping
[Chorus}
Please keep in mind,
promises, promises.
Keep in mind our promise you, promise I
will keep in line,
promises, promises.
