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 [ acguitar ] 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 LyricsKeeper
