Song Title: Just Weren’t Promises
Writer: James M. Fritz
Date Written: March 2022
VERSE 1
One summer night, lit only by pale moonlight
You appeared, a spirit lovely and bright
A beautiful dream, never to be awoke
Our bonds of love, tragically were broke
Pre-Chorus
Yeah, the devil, he came along
He drove you, to sing his song
Maybe, I was to blame
Or was our love, merely a game
Chorus
Promises, we made
We never, never kept
Promises betrayed
Just weren’t promises, at all
Verse 2
Our old little house, with a white picket fence
Was our life together, born on false pretense
You walked away, leaving me and my heartache
Darkness you chose, tempted by that serpent snake
Pre-Chorus (repeat)
Yeah, the devil he came along
He drove you to sing his song
Maybe I was to blame
Or was our love, merely a game
Chorus (repeat)
Promises we made
We never, never kept
Promises betrayed,
Just weren’t promises, at all
Verse 3
If you should ask, please take me back
What would, I say
Bridges were burned,
And all our trust, washed away,
Chorus (repeat)
Promises we made
We never, never kept
Promises betrayed
Just weren’t promises, at all
Just weren’t promises, at all
Written in 2022 I presented this song to MAS Song Review. I made some suggested changes. This song was produced using Suno Ai with directions to exactly cover my song demo lyrics, melody, chord structure, tempo and key. The result was a Suno recording that mirrors my song demo melody and lyrics.
