Promises - Erasure

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

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

Promises, promises, only promises

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

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

Promises, promises, only promises

Promises, promises, only promises

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
