Hard Promises To Keep lyrics

I'm trying to believe in forever
I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead
Babe, I get so close sometimes,
But all I really know is I believe that we've been making
hard promises to keep.

You want me to believe in forever.
Do you know how tight I'm holding just to keep my grip on yesterday?
I'm trying hard to see the pretty picture that you paint for me.
Do you know how tight I'm holding to
hard promises to keep?


Promises are like little diamond s.
Promises are like little hearts
you meant to give away.
I thought you'd want them back someday.
I've kept them for you anyway,
but I know when I've been given
hard promises to keep.
