Don't Make Promises Lyrics - Marianne Faithfull

It seems the songs we're singing 

Are all about tomorrow, 

Tunes of promises that we can't keep. 

Every moment bringing 

A 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.

Don't make promises that you can't keep. 

We had a chance to find it, 

Our time was now or never, 

You promised me things that I need. 

And 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.

Don't make promises that you can't keep. 

Don't make promises that you can't keep. 

Don't make promises that you can't keep. 

Don't make promises that you can't keep ...
