Promise Lyrics - Violent Femmes - Violent Femmes

Y'know that I want your loving 

But my logic tells me that it ain't never gonna happen 

And then my defense'd say I didn't want it anyway 

But you know sometimes I'm a liar 

Could you ever want me to love you 

Could you ever want me to care 

Disregard my nervousness 

Please ignore my vacant stares 

'Cause just what I've been through 

Is nothing like where I'm going to 

Give me some sign to pursue 

A promise 

And your unhappy 

This is only a guess 

Do you know what it's like to hate 

When it's way down deep inside 

Oh god I hate what's been done to my life 

I could rule the pain 

I could rule the night 

Or would I ruin my salvation 

Ruin my mind rules your pains 

Rulers of the night 

Ruin your salvation 

Ruin your mind
