Never Promise Anyone Forever lyrics

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, dog at the door
Restless as sparrows awaiting the dawn
Don`t go out tonight, don`t leave me alone
It doesn`t feel safe in our English home
There`s fear in my heart, in my ear a whisper
Are you afraid too, or is it just me?

Never promise anyone forever
I cross my heart and hope to die
You see through the whitest lie
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 to the madness outside
We`ll study old photographs and listen to tunes
It`s too cold and dark, stay here by the fire
It doesn`t feel safe to live with a liar

Understand how you`ve confused
second-hand with dead
Tell me what am I supposed to do now?
I could cry for a thousand years
Shed a thousand tears
Oh but now I fear you wouldn`t believe it
