Hanging by Promises

The perfect world
We use to know
Has disappeared
Where did it go?

But me and you
We're still together
We've promised to
Last forever

And now I'm hanging on by promises
Please tell me they're true
Don't hang me with your promises
They're a suffocating noose

Whoa!
(instrumental transition)

Is this a test
Of dedication
Can I stay
From temptation?

It's so hard
So many choices
And chanting from
Misleading voices

And now I'm hanging on by promises
Please tell me they're true
Don't hang me with your promises
They're a suffocating noose

(Slows down to just drum beat)

In then end
What will I choose
Will they be lies
Or are they the truth?

And now I'm hanging on by promises
I've heard them all before
Will I hang from promises
I keep on hearing more
And now I'm hanging on by promises
Things so far away
Will I hang from promises
If I choose to stay

Promises… Promises… I want it all to…

STOP!
