Yesterday's promise got you everything I had You took all the best of me and now you call me bad You made me careless with the pretty things you'd say Now yesterday's promise makes me crying today Yesterday's promise made the fire within me burn Today there's only bitter ashes everywhere I turn Tomorrow may be better when the hurt has gone away But yesterday's promise makes me crying today Yesterday's promise made just one thing in mind But to a girl it sounds like love when it's love she hopes to find Tomorrow I may find it when the hurt has gone away But yesterday's promise makes me crying today
