Promises

Bracing to face another ordeal
I've dealt with them all my days
I've started to wonder if they are for real
Or decoys designed to amaze
Rolling my sleeves, flaunting surprise
Whispering secrets of the night
This is my life
These are my lies
No colors, all black and white

Once you believed I was built for great deeds
Now you say I let you down
I followed that path and saw where it leads
I heard the howl of the hound
And baby I know a dead man when I see one
I've met a few in my life
This one was rotting
Away in the sun
Yet he told me he was fine

I kept my promises all through the years
This much you must allow
The moment comes haunting and then disappears
Do you love me now?

Once you believed I would be there for you
That I would come when you call
And follow the star that is your point of view
Be ready to catch when you fall
Well I would if I could but I can't, so I won't
This time I swear this is true
Some plans were sold
Some put on hold
Some I never told you

I kept my promises all through the years
This much you must allow
The moment comes haunting and then disappears
Do you love me now?
Do you love me now?
