1. PROMISES (EDIT)

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

[Pre-Chorus]
Why can't you stay here awhile?
Stay here awhile
Stay with me

[Chorus]
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

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

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]


2. THE SWEETEST THING

I am getting ready for my lover
He is coming home to me tomorrow
I am getting ready for no other
He is the sunshine in the moonlight of my day
He as never had to disappoint me
He was the sweetest thing
The neediest thing in my life
I am getting ready for my lover
He is the sunshine in the moonlight of my day

[Chorus]
It's only fair that you be there with me
And hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me
And understand
It's only fair - If you really dare
To hold my hand
It's only fair that you be there with me

I remember sweetness in my childhood
It was the sweetness child - The world was my understood
I remember sweetness in my mother
She did the best she could
She always would for us
Don't you ever have to disappoint me?

[Chorus]

The sweetest thing you are
The sweetest thing


3. LINGER (LIVE)

If you - If you could return
Don't let it burn - Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything

I swore - I swore I would be true
And honey so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you? - But

[Chorus]
I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to - Do you have to
Do you have to let it linger?

Oh - I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong - I was wrong
If you - If you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused and
I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you - But

[Chorus]

And

[Chorus] (x2)
