Two Promises - Sunny Day Real Estate

long days caught in his room

trapped in the gloom of the dying light

his heart pleads through the wounds that he bleeds

the wounds he never can close

wrong way mind in a haze

never know what he could do he thinks 'I gave her my heart she tasted my soul

now she’s gone again'

he thinks 'I gave her my heart she tasted my blood

now she’s gone again'

long days alone with his shame

fanning the flames of desire

his heart breaks as his memory plays

images of her betrayal

wrong way his mind in a rage

never know what he could do he thinks 'I gave her my heart she tasted my soul

now she’s gone again'

he thinks 'I gave her my heart she tasted my blood

now she’s gone again'

why did you leave me here?

how could you lead me down here?

he can’t decide where to go then

two promises one imperfect

walls he’s building keep on crumbling down

walls are falling try to keep them sound

long days he thinks the time will be soon

pacing his room with his dark thoughts

his heart breaks at the road he must take

the road that will lead to the end

wrong way he thinks it’s right for release

he’ll never know peace in his lifetime

he thinks 'I gave her my heart she tasted my soul

now she’s gone again'

he thinks 'I gave her my heart she tasted my blood

now she’s gone again'

he can’t decide where to go then

two promises one imperfect

walls he’s building keep on crumbling down

walls have fallen now there is no sound
