Don't Make Promises - Marianne Faithfull

It seems the songs we’re singing

Are all about tomorrow

Tunes of promises you can’t keep

Ev’ry moment bringing

The love I can only borrow

You’re telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I’m not aware of what you’re saying

Or why you’re saying it?

Is it hard to keep me where you want me staying?

Don’t go on betraying it

Don’t make promises you can’t keep

We had a chance to find it

Our time was now or never

You promised me things that I need

But then the things behind it

Took away the chance forever

You’re telling me lies in your sleep

Do you think I’m not aware of what you’re saying

Or why you’re saying it?

Is it hard to keep me where you want me staying?

Don’t go on betraying it

Don’t make promises you can’t keep

Don’t make promises you can’t keep
