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 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

(Solo)

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
