Promises

I never wanted any more than this

The lovely damage of a fatal kiss

Drop my defenses and my senses for you

And you promise to be trueI'll take the past and the pain

I'll take the hurt and the shame

I'll take the love and the hate

And your promises in vainYour heart is haunted by a lover's ghost

You know the spirit

But you never met the host

I see it in your eyes

The things you can't disguise

When all your promises are lies
