Promises made and promises broken
|
Measures of our demise
|
Secrets of souls that rarely get spoken
|
Pleasure's a thin disguise
|
Dozens of ways and dozens of reasons
|
Shielding our hearts from pain
|
Riddles of romance
|
That distance may yet explain
|
Certain of nothing
|
So fearful of love
|
Nobody seems to show you enough
|
Over and over the scenes are replayed
|
And once again those promises made
|
Feeling forsaken, broken in two
|
How did this ever happen to you
|
Taken for granted, bruised and betrayed
|
Lonely survivors these promises made
|
Dozens of ways and dozens of reasons
|
Shielding our hearts from pain
|
Riddles of romance
|
That distance may yet explain
|
Certain of nothing
|
You're so damn fearful of love
|
Nobody seems to show you enough
|
Over and over the scenes are replayed
|
And once again those promises made
|
Those promises made
|
