I'm trying to believe in forever

I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead

Babe, I get so close sometimes

But all I really know is

I believe that we've been making hard promises to keep



You want me to believe in forever

Do you know how tight I'm holding

Just to keep my grip on yesterday?

I'm trying hard to see the pretty pictures that you paint for me

Do you know how tight I'm holding to hard promises to keep



Promises are like little diamonds

Promises are like little hearts

We meant to give away

I thought you'd want them back someday

I've kept them for you anyway

But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep



Promises are like little diamonds

Promises are like little hearts

We meant to give away

I thought you'd want them back someday

I've kept them for you anyway

But I know when I've been given hard promises to keep

And I know that I've been given hard promises to keep
