Couples gather on the street - no way they notice me, but I watch them walk together and it reminds me of nights when everyone was gone, and I ended up alone,
Nights that were unsafe to hope for anything,
But lately I have noticed that so much is not what I imagined it'd be,
When the harder times come calling on us, we'll know if we're gonna need.

Promises,
Don't promise me,
Say yes,
Say no or yes, but don't promise.

For all the reasons not to try, I can't forget the times I swore that if I finally knew
the answers to my prayers, those nights when it came time to decide, I'd just know
and I would be ready,
But lately I have noticed that so much is not what I imagined it'd be,
When the harder times come calling on us, we'll know if we're gonna need.

Promises,
Don't promise me,
Say yes,
Say no or yes, but don't promise me.
