Promises Made

Promises made Promises broken Measures of our demise Secrets of souls that Rarely get spoken Pleasure's a thin disguise. Dozens of ways 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 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.
