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