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

[ steel ]

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
