Promises made and promises broken   Measures of our demise   Secrets of souls that rarely get spoken   Pleasure's a thin disguise      Dozens of ways and 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 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 and 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 scenes are replayed   And once again those promises made   Those promises made
