Promises In The Dark Lyrics by Pat Benatar

Promises In The Dark Lyrics

    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 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
