[Intro] [Verse 1] Fly away, far away, To a place we’ve never known, Start again, try again, Find a way to make it home, [Chorus] Promises, promises, We believed in every word, Promises, promises, We believed in what we heard, [Verse 2] Time goes by, we wonder why, Things don’t turn out as planned, We reach out, we have our doubts, Still we try to understand, [Chorus] Promises, promises, We believed in every word, Promises, promises, We believed in what we heard, [Verse 3] Read the signs, draw the lines, Tell yourself that things will change, Say the words, make them heard, But the truth stays just the same, [Chorus] Promises, promises, We believed in every word, Promises, promises, We believed in what we heard, [Final Chorus] Promises, promises, Just a word that no one keeps, Promises, promises, Nothing left but broken dreams, [Outro] [Full band builds to a dramatic, sustained final chord] Promises… promises… [End
