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 are imperfect
walls he's building keep on crumbling down
walls have fallen now there is no sound

    i agree with almost everything that's been said already, just wanted to add something about the title. the two promises are promises of love, being together, etc. "two promises, one imperfect." he kept it, she didn't.
