Staring out my hotel window
Too much on my mind
Maybe we should keep it simple
We don't have to decide
Oh no we don't need to overcomplicate it
Cause I've been here once before don't even say it
Baby, please, no promises
Cause we won't keep our promises
And I know the consequences
So, baby, please
Baby, please, no promises
I've never been a fan of heartbreak
So tell me what you want
Take my hands across your body
We don't have to hold on
Oh no we don't need to overcomplicate it
Cause I've been here once before don't even say it
Baby, please, no promises
Cause we won't keep our promises
And I know the consequences
So, baby, please
Baby please no promises
Cause I've been living only for this moment
And I don't want to let it slip away
I've been living only for this moment
And I don't know how much that I can take, yeah
Baby, please, no promises
Cause we won't keep our promises
And I know the consequences
So, baby, please
Baby please no promises
Yeah, baby, please no promises, yeah
Oh, baby, please no promises
Baby, please
Baby, please no promises
