Never Promise (Anyone Forever)

I've been watching the news
And it doesn't feel safe
It seems so far removed
From this slumbering place
Cat at the hearth (cat at the hearth)
Dog at the door
Restless as sparrows
Awaiting the dawn
Don't go out tonight (don't go out tonight)
Don't leave me alone (alone alone ...)
It doesn't feel safe
In our English home
There's fear in my heart
In my ear a whisper (in my ear a whisper)
Are you afraid too
Or is it just me?

Never promise anyone forever
Never promise anyone forever
Never promise anyone forever (forever)
Never promise anyone forever
I cross my heart and hope to die
You see through the whitest lie
Never promise anyone forever (forever)
Never promise anyone forever

Where are we travelling to
Don't go out tonight
It doesn't feel safe
When I look in the mirror
I don't see my face
Shut up our ears (shut up our ears)
To the madness outside
We'll study old photographs (study old photographs)
And listen to tunes
It's too cold and dark (too cold and dark)
Stay here by the fire
It doesn't feel safe
To live with a liar

Never promise anyone forever (forever)
Never promise anyone forever
Never promise anyone forever (forever)
Never promise anyone forever
I cross my heart and hope to die
You see through the whitest lie
Never promise anyone forever (forever)
Never promise anyone forever

Understand
How you've confused second-hand
With dead
Tell me what am I supposed to do now?

I could cry (I could cry)
For a thousand years (thousand years)
Shed a thousand tears (thousand tears)
Oh but now I fear
You wouldn't believe it

Never promise anyone forever (forever)
Never promise anyone forever
Never promise anyone forever (forever)
Never promise anyone forever
I cross my heart and hope to die
You see through the whitest lie
Never promise anyone forever (forever)
Never promise anyone forever
