Producer: George Tobin

Your words of steel still echo in my memory
You said goodbye and broke this heart inside of me
Teardrops fell like hours to eternity
The room was silent as some forgotten melody
Your words of steel still echo in my memory

Promises made, promises broken
Promises made, promises broken

I thought we had a chance to really make it last
Now the future looks to me like some unwelcome guest
I'll be alright as soon as I get over you
But this time it won't be such an easy thing to do

Promises made are promises broken
Promises made always cause pain
Promises made are promises broken
Promises made, promises broken

Caught up in the sorrow, tangled in dreams
Ooh, in the lonely hours, the silence screams
And in the heart of the darkness I break down
I feel the spirit of you all around

Promises made are promises broken
Promises made always cause pain
Promises made, promises broken
Promises made always cause pain
Promises made are promises broken
Promises made, promises broken

Tiffany Renee Darwish (born October 2, 1971), simply known by her mononym Tiffany, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and former teen icon. She is most notable for her 1987 cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now,” a song originally recorded by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967. Released as the second single from her eponymous album, Tiffany, the song quickly became a teen anthem. Thanks to an original mall tour, "The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ‘87”, Tiffany found commercial success; both the single and the album peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, respectively. The singles “Could’ve Been” and “I Saw Him Standing There”, a cover version of The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There”, followed soon after, with the former also claiming the No. 1 position on the Hot 100.

Tiffany was born in 1971 to James Robert Darwish and Janie Wilson, who divorced when she was very young. She grew up in Norwalk, California.

Tiffany began singing around 1975 when she was four years old and learned the words to the song “Delta Dawn”. After the divorce, she resided with her father, but in her adolescence, she rebelled against his strict Baptist parenting. While attending Leffingwell Christian High School, a group of friends and she behaved in a manner which contravened school regulations; she acknowledged this on Celebrity Ghost Stories in 2012.
