Promises In the Dark

                                
Never again, Isn’t that what you said?
            
You’ve been through this before
                                          
This time you swore you’d think with your head
                          
No one, would ever have you again
            
And if takin’ was gonna get done
                       
You’d decide where and when
                     
Just when you think you got it down
                                
Your heart securely tied and bound
          BbAG                 (Riff  
     )
They whisper, promises in the dark


Armed and ready you fought love battles in the night
                                               
But too many opponents made you weary of the fight
                                            
Blinded by passion, you foolishly let someone in
             
All the warnings went off in your head
                      
Still you had to give in

                       
Just when you think you got it down
                          
Resistance no where to be found
           BbAG               (Riff  
      )
They whisper, promises in the dark
                          
But promises, you know what there for
                                         
It sounds so convincing, but you heard it before
                                  
Cause talk is cheap and you gotta be sure
              
And so you put up your guard

                                                 
And you try to be hard but your heart says try again

 (Riff         )

                                               
You desperately search for a way to conquer the fear
                                                                                       
                                                  
No line of attack has been planned to fight back the tears
                                           
Where brave and restless dreams are both won and lost
                                            
On the edge is where it seems it’s well worth the cost
                     
Just when you think you got it down
                                 
Your heart in pieces on the ground
