Gordon Gano - Promise lyrics

Well, y'know that I want your loving But my logic tells me it ain't never gonna happen And then my defense'd say I did'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 unhappiness 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 Rule your pains Rulers of the night Ruin your salvation Ruin your mind You know that I want your loving Well, then Mr. Logic Mr. Logic tells me it ain't never gonna happen And then my defenses say, well, 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 Ple-please ignore my vacant stares Just what I've been through Is nothing like where I'm going to Give me some sign to pursue a promise A promise And you're unhappy And you're unhappy And you're unhappy And your unhappiness is only a guess
