Never again, isn't that what you said?

You've been through this before

An' you swore this time you'd think with your head

No one, would ever have you again

And if taking 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
