Promise |
| Well, y’know that I want your loving |
| But my logic tells me it ain’t never gonna happen |
| And then my defenses say I did’t want it anyway |
| But you know sometimes I’m a liar |
| Could you ever want me to love you? |
| Could you ever want me to care? |
| Disregard my nervousness |
| Please ignore my vacant stares |
| Cause just what I’ve been through |
| Is nothing like where I’m going to |
| Give me some sign to pursue a promise |
| And you’re unhappy |
| This is only a guess |
| Do you know what it’s like to hate |
| When it’s way down deep inside? |
| Oh God, I hate |
| What’s been done to my life |
| I could rule the pain |
| I could rule the night |
| Or would it ruin my salvation? |
| Ruin my mind |
| Rule your pains |
| Rulers of the night |
| Ruin your salvation |
| Ruin your mind |
| You know that I want your loving |
| Well, then Mr. Logic |
| Mr. Logic tells me it ain’t never gonna happen |
| And then my defenses say, well, I didn’t want it anyway |
| But you know sometimes I’m a liar |
| Could you ever want me to love you? |
| Could you ever want me to care? |
| Disregard my nervousness |
| Ple-please ignore my vacant stares |
| Just what I’ve been through |
| Is nothing like where I’m going to |
| Give me some sign to pursue a promise |
| A promise |
| And you’re unhappy |
| And you’re unhappy |
| And you’re unhappy |
| And you’re unhappy this only a guess |
