Promises Promises

I pulled into the driveway and turned the engine off I sat there for a moment and looked at our darkened house Sighing to myself about another long hard day Wondering if its worth it as my family slips away I make it to the kitchen to pour a glass of milk And right there on the fridge is a note that you had left You waited all night long, then you finally went to sleep Dinner is on the oven, warm it up before you eat The list is on the counter for tomorrow and our plans Just please don’t promise me you’ll make it, If you can’t I understand I understand that you are busy, it’s ok . I’ll go alone Please keep your broken promises unspoken from now on Promises, promises You’ve heard it all before Promises, promises They’ve shattered like thin glass Promises, promises Baby, I want your whole trust back This breaking feeling in my heart makes me hang my head in pain You’ve lived with broken promises, when did I become this man I go into the bedroom and kneel down next to you, My body trembles, cuz I am scared with the fear of losing you The dried tears upon your pillow are proof of a breaking heart There and then I vow a promise no more tears from the lonely dark Promises, promises You’ve heard it all before Promises, promises They’ve shattered like thin glass Promises, promises Baby, I want your whole trust back I’ll surprise you in the morning, I won’t be walking out the door Baby, I’m making promises I won’t be breaking anymore I promise to take you fishin’,out on the old boat, if it still floats Or we could go hiking in the mountains,dust off the backpack and patch the holes Time will be on our side darling, just the two of us and the breeze This is a lifetime promise and one I vow to forever keep Promises, promises You’ve heard it all before Promises, promises I won’t be walking out the door Promises, promises I won’t be breaking anymore
