Promises

(album: Lonely Are The Brave - 2008)

Like a crow in the black of the night
Hide from the sun deep down in my hole
Tears are turning into heavy clay
Blends with rust in my pain machine

You gave me promises
But I can't force you to feel
And I cry to myself 'cause I know what is real
My silent loneliness
The darkness swallows my day
I can't lie to myself 'cause I know what I feel
Give me something real, yeah, yeah

Stabbing pain in the core of my heart
Cut by you and now I bleed for your love
Touch my scar and feel the layers of sorrow
Your coldness blows like a chill in the night

You gave me promises
But I can't force you to feel
And I cry to myself 'cause I know what is real
My silent loneliness
The darkness swallows my day
I can't lie to myself 'cause I know what I feel
I know what's real, yeah

Oh...

Like a crow in the black of the night
Hide from the sun deep down in my hole
My tears are falling like hard rain
I never saw the wicked games you played

You gave me promises
But I can't force you to feel
And I cry to myself 'cause I know what is real
My silent loneliness
The darkness swallows my day
I can't lie to myself 'cause I know what I feel!
I know what's real, oh baby
And I can't force you to feel, no...
Oh, yeah, yeah, you gave me promises...
