Lyrics No Guarantees - David Vertesi

No Guarantees

I feel it creeping in
The slightest impression
Your keynote confession was
Not quite as innocent
As you had suggested
And now I have question left
Lonely and lingering
On what could have been
There are no guarantees
Sometimes it’s all for nothing but the memories
Now we’re both refugees
Running from something we never wanted to leave
Traced to its origin
Our war of attrition
Has kept us from living
It bound us beneath our skin
Wrapped with a ribbon
Soft yet sufficient
Never a second guess
Or hope for some recompense
There are no guarantees
Your love won’t turn from passion into pleasantries
Make a nightmare of your fantasies
Til you’re running from someone you never wanted to leave
There is no in between
We’d both be better off as enemies
At least agreeing to disagree
We’re all running from something
There are no guarantees
Sometimes it’s all for nothing but the memories
Now we’re both refugees
Running from something we never wanted to leave
There are no guarantees
Your love won’t turn from passion to pleasantries
Make a nightmare of your fantasies
Til you’re running from something
Til you’re running from someone you never wanted to leave
