Don’t Make Promises You Can’t Keep

Music & lyrics; Kim Walker

Don’t make a promise, if it’s a promise you can’t keep.
Give it to me honest, that’s what I need to sleep.
Look into my eyes, I can see a lie, I wanna hear you tell me true
Don’t make a promise, if it’s a promise you can’t keep,

Don’t swear forever, if forever’s out of reach.
Hold on to me steady, with truth in what you speak.
Look into my eyes, I can see a lie, I wanna hear you tell me true
Don’t swear forever, if forever’s out of reach,

A promise is a promise, I believe what you say,
My heart’s locked in, yeah, you light the way.
If you break that vow, trust slips away,
So don’t make promises you can’t keep, no

I don’t want your money if it’s money we can’t cash.
Don’t sell me a grand plan when you know it’s gonna crash.
Look into my eyes, I can see a lie, I wanna hear you tell me true
I don’t want your money if it’s money we can’t cash.

A promise is a promise, I believe what you say,
My heart’s locked in, yeah, you light the way.
If you break that vow, trust slips away,
So don’t make promises you can’t keep, no

Don’t need to promise, things we can’t foresee.
Just love me like you do now, that’s enough for me.
Look into my eyes, I can see a lie, I wanna hear you tell me true
Don’t make a promise, if it’s a promise you just can’t keep.

A promise is a promise, I believe what you say,
My heart’s locked in, yeah, you light the way.
If you break that vow, trust slips away,
So don’t make promises you can’t keep, no
