Promise

You know that I want your loving

But my logic tells me that it ain't never gonna happen

And then my defences 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 I ruin my salvation?

Ruin my mind, rules your pains, rulers of the night

Ruin your salvation, ruin your mind

You know that I want your loving

But mr. Logic, mr. Logic tells me

That it ain't never gonna happen

And then my defences 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
