Dan Fogelberg - Promises Made Lyrics

Promises made and promises broken
Measures of our demise
Secrets of souls that rarely get spoken
Pleasure's a thin disguise
Dozens of ways and dozens of reasons
Shielding our hearts from pain
Riddles of romance
That distance may yet explain
Certain of nothing
So fearful of love
Nobody seems to show you enough
Over and over the scenes are replayed
And once again those promises made
Feeling forsaken, broken in two
How did this ever happen to you
Taken for granted, bruised and betrayed
Lonely survivors these promises made
Dozens of ways and dozens of reasons
Shielding our hearts from pain
Riddles of romance
That distance may yet explain
Certain of nothing
You're so damn fearful of love
Nobody seems to show you enough
Over and over the scenes are replayed
And once again those promises made
Those promises made
