[Verse 1]
It's a quarter-to-twelve
And ain't nobody answering
Fell under your spell
But ooh, that feeling is fleeting

I've had my fill
And I just don't wanna fight any more
I know the stories well
And I just can't take any more

[Chorus]
Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We're on our own)
So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
(The will inside me is breaking)
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us

[Refrain]
Promises, promises, only promises
[Verse 2]
Whatever happened to
That tender side I saw in you
What you made me do
Those things, woah

And I wonder how those vowels we made
Ooh they evaporate
And like the rain at night it came
And then it was gone

[Chorus]
Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby, don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We're on our own)
So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
(The will inside me is breaking)
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us

[Instrumental Bridge]
[Refrain]
Promises, promises, only promises
Promises, promises, only promises

[Chorus]
Keep your promises
I just need somebody to be there
(The will inside me is breaking)
And if we can't be honest
Baby don't you see we won't get nowhere
(We're on our own)
So won't you keep those promises
I just need someone to rely on
'Cause if we're not solid
Everything will change
Nothing will remain of the both of us
