Promises Lyrics

Promises
We forgot all our promises
And only keep some of the easiest
I confess I do

Make believe
However small the possibility
But sometimes tripped up by reality
Formality it seems

Now I found

Having come the long way round

I am closer---closer than before

Here and now is all that it's about
Let's use it or we'll lose it

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

History

We could live our life from history

But there's no future in a memory
You'll see---my love
Oh,there's no future in a memory
You'll see---my love

Now I found

Having come the long way round

I am closer---closer than before

Here and now is all that it's about
Let's use it or we'll lose it

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

You'll see---my love

Go and ask anybody
They will all say the same---everyone
Love is contagious
We are part of a chain

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
