Promises Lyrics by War Hippies

War Hippies

2022

[Verse 1]
Cheap perfume, painted faces
Fallen angels fill the places
Where I go when my troubles pull me down
Doll eyes, I know they'll tell me
In the times that they will sell me
For a while I'll be the biggest man in town
[Verse 2]
Back at home, bet she's cryin'
For her love for me is dyin'
She'll pray, I'll make it safely through the night
And when the mornin' sun starts showin'
To her bedside I'll be goin'
Then she'll hold me while I face the mornin' light
[Verse 3]
And I'll make promises, promises to change
I'll make her promises, swear I'll rearrange
And I'll start givin' all the love she needs if only she would stay
[Verse 4]
Once again, she'll reassure me
And I'll believe her love will cure me
And I'll fall asleep with tears on my face
And I'll know she's just a woman
And her love can't last forever
And someday soon I know she'll leave without a trace
[Verse 5]
For broken promises will tear her dreams apart
Just token promises someday break her heart and for the last time
She'll hold me when I cry while I'm sleepin'
She'll quietly say goodbye
