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.
