Promises of Tomorrow

All the promises a lover makes and cannot keep.

You promised me tomorrow
we'd get rid of all our tears
said the best way to accomplish this
was to relinquish all our fears

You promised me tomorrow
that you'd never leave my side
and even after every fall
you stood again and tried

You promised me tomorrow
my pain would go away
told me not to worry
about tomorrow, beyond today

You promised me tomorrow
the joy I miss would be returned
and wished you could've felt my loss
on the day my heart was burned

You promised me tomorrow
that only sunshine would remain
and even if a storm arrived
there was still so much to gain

You promised me tomorrow
it's your life, you'd give for me
made me feel like I'd be worth it
if it meant that I'd be free

You promised me tomorrow
you would love me through and through
but of all the things you promised
tomorrow was never promised to YOU...
