Oli Phillips - Proud Songs

Promises

Most were told they'd never amount to nothing
But I was told I'd amount to everything
But I'm sitting here amounting to nothing
I just wanna be something

This pressure weighs a tonne and when dad comes in and says
Hey, are you winning son
I just wanna say yeah dad I won
And not have to deal with these

Harsh empty promises
Harsh empty promises
Harsh empty promises
Harsh empty promises

I was told I'd set ablaze the world
Or be the fire truck that puts out that blaze
But I'm neither hot or cold
I'm just going through a phase

Cus we've all got promises to keep
Cus we've all got promises to keep
Maybe someday we can get some sleep
Cus I've got my promises to keep

We've all got promises to keep
(We've all got promises to keep)
We've all (We've all)
We've all (We've all)
Got promises to keep
We've all (We've all)
We've all (We've all)
Got promises to keep
