PROMISES IN THE DARK
Pat Benatar
 
 

Never again,
Isn't that what you said?

You've been through this before

You swore this time
You'd think with your head

No one,
would ever HURT 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

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 nowhere to be found
They whisper, promises in the dark

But promises,
You know what they're 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

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

They whisper
Promises
In the
Dark
