[verse]
I’ve promised you so much
But I’ve just wasted your time
When my front door looks like home
I know its time to go, I know I’ve made up my mind
All these things that I’m lacking
Are the things that make me whole
Keep up with the times and talk right girl
I’ll be out on my own, I’ll be out on that road
[Chorus]
I’ve got to go on my own way
Gotta sleep the night alone
Lookin’ for some answers
Maybe France or maybe Mexico
Promises are stories yet told
[verse]
An apple, it falls down
Leaving there a little bruise
But you know that when autumn falls
Apple pie is on that menu
Darlin' please don’t misunderstand
I would give to you my life
But I’ll be there on the outskirts of town
Never makin' up, never makin' up my mind
[Chorus]
‘cause you know that when the season comes
I’ll put you back up on that shelf
I could be an honest man
And keep on lyin’ to myself, but no
‘cause promises are stories yet told
Promises are stories yet told
[bridge]
I remember that moonlit night
When I swept you right off your feet
Right then we promised that we’d always be
My love, together forever, did we? No
[Chorus]
‘cause promises are stories…
Promises are just stories
Promises are stories yet told
Promises are stories yet
[outro]
Told
Promises are stories yet told
Promises are stories yet told
I’ve promised you so much
But I’ve just wasted your time
When my front door looks like home
I know its time to go, I know I’ve made up my mind
All these things that I’m lacking
Are the things that make me whole
Keep up with the times and talk right girl
I’ll be out on my own, I’ll be out on that road
[Chorus]
I’ve got to go on my own way
Gotta sleep the night alone
Lookin’ for some answers
Maybe France or maybe Mexico
Promises are stories yet told
[verse]
An apple, it falls down
Leaving there a little bruise
But you know that when autumn falls
Apple pie is on that menu
Darlin' please don’t misunderstand
I would give to you my life
But I’ll be there on the outskirts of town
Never makin' up, never makin' up my mind
[Chorus]
‘cause you know that when the season comes
I’ll put you back up on that shelf
I could be an honest man
And keep on lyin’ to myself, but no
‘cause promises are stories yet told
Promises are stories yet told
[bridge]
I remember that moonlit night
When I swept you right off your feet
Right then we promised that we’d always be
My love, together forever, did we? No
[Chorus]
‘cause promises are stories…
Promises are just stories
Promises are stories yet told
Promises are stories yet
[outro]
Told
Promises are stories yet told
Promises are stories yet told
