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
