Promises And Hearts (were Made To Break) Lyrics - Stonewall Jackson

I made myself a promise I knew I couldn't keep 

I promised me I wouldn't cry tonight before I sleep 

But to think of how you've hurt me and it's more than I can take 

Now I know that promises and hearts were made to break and break and break 

Oh promises and hearts were made to break 

Promises and hearts were made to be broken 

But surely not mine at least I was a hopin' 

But a hurtin' heart is something I can't learn to face 

Now I see that promises and hearts were made to break and break and break 

Oh promises and hearts were made to break 

[ ac.guitar ] 

I promised all of my neighbors no more crying late at night 

I promised them I'd go to sleep things are gonna be alright 

Then once again it's mem'ry time and my heart begins to ache 

Now they know that promises and hearts were made to break and break and break 

Oh promises and hearts were made to break
