hard promises to keep lyrics

I'm trying to believe in forever
I'm trying to believe in the little jewel box life we lead
And 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 when I've been given hard promises to keep
