The Cranberries - Promises lyrics

You better belive I'm coming

You better believe what I say

You better hold on to your promises

Because you bet, you'll get what you deserve

She's going to leave him over

She's gonna take her love away

So much for your eternal vows, well

It does not matter anyway

Why can't you stay here awhile

Stay here awhile

Stay with me

Oh, all the promises we made

All the meaningless and empty words

I prayed, prayed, prayed

Oh, all the promises we broke

All the meaningless and empty words

I spoke, spoke, spoke

Do-do-do (4x)

What of all the things that you taught me

What of all the things that you'd say

What of all your prophetic preaching

You're just throwing it all away

Maybe we should burn the house down

Have ourselves another fight

Leave the cobwebs in the closet

'cause tearing them out is just not right

Why can't you stay here awhile

Stay here awhile

Stay with me, oh oh

Oh eh, oh eh, oh eh,

Oh eh, oh eh (3x)

Do-do-do (4x)
