Stonewall Jackson - Promises And Hearts (were Made To Break) Lyrics

I made myself a promise I knew I couldn't keep

I promised me I wouldn't cry tonight before I sleep

But to think of how you've hurt me and it's more than I can take

Now I know that promises and hearts were made to break and break and break

Oh promises and hearts were made to break

Promises and hearts were made to be broken

But surely not mine at least I was a hopin'

But a hurtin' heart is something I can't learn to face

Now I see that promises and hearts were made to break and break and break

Oh promises and hearts were made to break

[ ac.guitar ]

I promised all of my neighbors no more crying late at night

I promised them I'd go to sleep things are gonna be alright

Then once again it's mem'ry time and my heart begins to ache

Now they know that promises and hearts were made to break and break and break

Oh promises and hearts were made to break
