a promise broken

lyric by skylark

music by skylark + dennis murphy

and once again you’re here

amid my deepest fears

my dream come true

saying nothing new

still i run to you with open arms

not knowing who you are

no memories

of the painful nights when i begged you

please don’t break my heart

don’t do it over and over and over

any fool can see

i’m weak for you

you hold me close like this

and as i taste your lips

you give with each and every kiss

a tender promise, softly spoken

is your love a masquerade

is it just a game you play

will you go away

and leave me with a promise broken

still the doubt remains

and as you ease my pain

you bring me near

your caress is all i need to hear

with my lonely heart

touch me all over and over and over

how can i live

and not be weak for you

you hold me close like this

and as i taste your lips

you give with each and every kiss

a tender promise, softly spoken

is your love a masquerade

is it just a game you play

will you go away

and leave me with a promise broken
