Story Behind the Song
Song was originally written way back in 1990 while I was a student at Kent State, but never recorded until 2001 with Six Pack of Monkeys. Always a crowd favorite, although kind of a "no brainer" song, we never really want to lay down the trax, but we're glad we finally did. Updated a bit from the original glammy sound, this only took a couple takes to get it right. Simple can be best.
Lyrics
Promises (Roeser/Savina)
It seems like all you ever do, hurting taking it all for you
The more I’m ahead the more you pull me behind
It seems like you’re just wasting my time
It seems like all you ever do, hurting taking it all for you
You say I’m your man ‘til I’m ready to die
Anything so you won’t cry
I break my back everyday, you want it all right away
I gotta know now, show me how I need more than Promises
I treat you right but yet you fight you’re giving me just Promises
You look away when you say you’re in love
When I’m gone who do you think of
I need more than Promises
I wake up I stumble outta bed, I spend all day thinking of what you said
Each day you seem further away, I wanna know what you want from me
Another man how soon you forget, don’t you remember how we met
Do you answer my questions with lies, are you telling me the truth this time
