Lyrics

No Promises
[William Livesay/David Petratos ©1996]

Being true was right for me
But not for you
Took it to heart right from the start
It was easy to do
No one in their right mind
Could spend half the time
Wanting you the way that I do
I can feel the chill of a cold wind blowing
The discontent of my heart in knowing
When all is said and done
There are no promises and no guarantees
Take it slow don’t you know
You can’t force your love
That’s what you said oh that’s what you said
Now your reaching out for somebody new
And you don’t even care
What you’re putting me through
I can feel the chill of a cold wind blowing
The discontent of my heart in knowing
When all is said and done
There are no promises and no guarantees
whoa oh oh oh oh oh
I can feel a thirst with my lips upon the water
Lightning strikes me standing under cover
When all is said and done
There are no promises and no guarantees

How many times have you held it in your hands
And found you have nothing…nothing

I can tell that nobody’s home
By the look in your eyes
Time after time I’ve seen that look
So don’t try to hide
The etching in the stone is fading fast
No matter what you’ve got
It may not last
I can feel the chill of a cold wind blowing
The discontent of my heart in knowing
When all is said and done
There are no promises and no guarantees
whoa oh oh oh oh oh
I can feel a thirst with my lips upon the water
Lightning strikes me standing under cover
When all is said and done
There are no promises and no guarantees
There are no promises
There are no promises
There are no promises….and no guarantees
I can feel a thirst with my lips upon the water
Lightning strikes me standing under cover
When all is said and done
There are no promises and no guarantees
