Promise

Y'know that i want your loving

But my logic tells me that it aint never gonna happen

And then my defense'd say i did't want it anyway

But you know sometimes i'm a lier

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 thru

Is nothing like where i'm going to

Give me some sign to persue

A promise

And your 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 yor mind
