[Verse 1]
Remember how it used to be
Remember how you promised me
That life would always be good
You forget the fact you lied to me
You locked my heart and threw the key
I'm so misunderstood

[Chorus]
What to say when all the words have gone?
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown?
Promises, promises

[Verse 2]
Remember how I gave my heart
And all at once we fell apart
Was I supposed to forgive you?
You forgot the fact you said to me
That we were for eternity
You're so easy to see through

[Chorus]
What to say when all the words have gone?
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown?
Promises, promises

[Verse 3]
Remember that I'm over you
And know that I will make it through
Hope you never forget it
The promises you made to me
Were really lies and fantasy
Hope you come to regret it

[Chorus]
What to say when all the tears have dried?
Promises, promises
What to think when all our love has died?
Promises, promises

[Bridge]
The promises we used to keep have gone
And with them all the words
That kept us both from seeing what was wrong
The rest is silent

[Chorus]
What to say when all the words have gone?
Promises, promises
What to do when all our thoughts have flown?
Promises, promises
What to say when all the tears have dried?
Promises, promises
What to think when all our love has died?
Promises, promises

Kylie Minogue is an Australian singer, songwriter, and actress. Often referred to as the Goddess of Pop with a career spanning over 30 years, she has transformed from girl-next-door soap star to ‘90s pop starlet, and short-lived indie darling to bona fide superstar.

Kylie earned her first big break on the Australian soap opera Neighbours, playing tomboy mechanic Charlene Mitchell. An on-screen romance with Jason Donovan – who played Scott Robinson – blossomed into a real-life relationship, and their wedding on the soap drew in millions of viewers. However, her real ambition was a successful career in music, and by 1988 her debut album, Kylie, was released, reaching #1 in the UK and Australia. Notching up 10 UK Top 3 singles by 1993, she was one of the defining popstars of the early ‘90s. Her follow-ups to the debut album – Enjoy Yourself, Rhythm of Love and Let’s Get To It – all reached the Top 15 in the UK.

With a blossoming relationship with late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence, Kylie was encouraged to be more ambitious with her image and sound. As such, she left her former label, PWL, and released the daring “Confide In Me” in early 1994. Critics praised her re-invention, and the single restored the success she had somewhat lost with her previous album. Impossible Princess was another critical success but failed to make much of an impact on the charts, which led some media outlets to believe that her “15 minutes of fame” were over.
