[Verse 1: Jon Bellion]
She knows what I've become, and she sees right through me
And she's saw the smoking gun, now we're hanging [?]
She told me chase my dreams, she'll be waiting for me
And now I'm stuck between excuses that I'm making

[Chorus: Christianne Jensen & Jon Bellion]
"Hold your head up high and please the crowd
But come back down to see me
Promise when you're forced to go away
That you'll still believe in me"
After all is done and I'm back home
Where I know that I belong
We can laugh and reminisce
The promises that were made in this song

[Verse 2: Jon Bellion]
And she cries gently on my sleeve as I explain I leave next week
She swears she's happy, but she's sad
And she predicted just this scene
And she said, "The day would come when music takes you away"
And, oh, she said, she said, "Go change the world
But first, I must say"

[Chorus: Christianne Jensen & Jon Bellion]
"Hold your head up high and please the crowd
But come back down to see me
Promise when you're forced to go away
That you'll still believe in me"
After all is done and I'm back home
Where I know that I belong
We can laugh and reminisce
The promises that were made in this song
[Post-Chorus: Jon Bellion]
All the promises, promises (Promises)
All the promises (Promises)
All the promises, promises
All the promises (Promises)
All the promises, all the promises (Promises)
La da da da da da (Promises)
All the promises, promises (Promises)
And then she turned to me and said

[Chorus: Christianne Jensen & Jon Bellion]
"Hold your head up high and please the crowd
But come back down to see me
Promise when you're forced to go away
That you'll still believe in me"
After all is done and I'm back home
Where I know that I belong
We can laugh and reminisce
The promises that were made in this song

[Verse 3: Jon Bellion]
I hear the motor of the car running
Waiting for me in the driveway, my future's coming
The teardrops sipping down her cheek, stunning
Crying, laughing, hearts rushing
This bittersweet moment, hideous beauty
Her look, her stare, they pierce through me
The driver, impatient, his horn is blaring
My future awaits, my past just staring
[Bridge: Jon Bellion]
Promises, promises
Promises, promises

[Chorus: Christianne Jensen & Jon Bellion]
"Hold your head up high and please the crowd
But come back down to see me
Promise when you're forced to go away
That you'll still believe in me"
After all is done and I'm back home
Where I know that I belong
We can laugh and reminisce
The promises that were made in this song

[Outro: Jon Bellion]
Promises, promises
Promises, promises
Promises, promises
Promises, promises
