Album:

Hard promises

You've got a dangerous background
 And everything you've dreamed of
 Yeah you're the Dark Angel
 It don't show when you break up
 And I'm the one who oughta know
 I'm the one left in the dust
 Yeah I'm the broken hear ted fool
 Who was never quite enough


 I'm an insider, I been burned by the fire
 And I've had to live with some hard promises
 I've crawled through the briars
 I'm an insider


 It's a circle of deception
 It's a hall of stran gers
 It's a cage without a key
 You can feel the danger
 And I'm the one who oughta know
 I'm the one you couldn't trust
 Yeah I'm the lonely silent one
 I'm the one left in the dust


 I'm an insider, I been burned by the fire
 And I've had to live with some hard promises
 I've crawled through the briars
 I'm an insider


 I'll bet you're his masterpiece
 I'll bet you're his self-control
 Yeah you'll become his legacy
 His quiet world of white and gold
 And I'm the one who ought to know
 I'm the one you left to rust
 Not one of your twisted friends
 I'm the one you couldn't love


 I'm an insider, I been burned by the fire
 And I've had to live with some hard promises
 I've crawled through the briars--I'm an insider
