PROMISES AND LIES

You've had a hard day: you're battered and bruised,
And you're aching from your head to your toes.
So pull up the sofa, and kick off your shoes,
And join me in the fireside glow.

It's the same old song, with the same old tune,
And the same old romance in our eyes.
It's the same old scene, with that old familiar moon,
And the same old promises and lies.

Familiar feelings in familiar fools:
It's amazing how we don't seem to learn.
With broken hearts incurred from breaking rules,
You'd think we had emotion to burn.

It's the same old song, with the same old tune,
And the same old romance in our eyes.
It's the same old scene, with that old familiar moon,
And the same old promises and lies.

Adrenalin flowing like wedding champagne:
You'd think that we'd be wise enough to save ourselves the pain.
We know what to look for; we know how it starts:
With a masochistic tendency to sacrifice our hearts

For that same old song, with the same old tune,
And the same old romance in our eyes.
It's the same old scene, with that old familiar moon,
And the same old promises and lies.

Your common sense wavers, then it finally dies:
You can't resist those lovely promises and lies.
