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
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
[Chorus]
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
Lately I have noticed that so much
Is not what I'd imagined it'd be
When the harder times come calling on us
We'll know if we're gonna need
