Promise Broken

I'm out here everyday,

Breaking hearts along the way,

I cause tears to fall,

And some to lose it all,

This old world would be,

Better off without me.

I'm the saddest word you've spoken,

I'm a promise broken.



I'm the ball the game that you missed.

I'm the calls that don't come in,

I'm every poor excuse

Used to cover up the truth,

I tell the people that you love,

That they don't matter quite enough.

There's no stopping me once I'm in motion,

I'm a promise broken.



Dissapointment, disillusion, dispair, confusion.

I've seen it all arise.

Don't promise you will, if you won't.

Don't say you do, if you don't

It's alright to say you'll try.



Well I get pushed aside,

When you move on with your life.

But I'll stand the test of time,

In your heart and in your mind.

You'll think about me now and then.

Wonder how your life might've been.

But I will leave you never knowing.

I'm a promise broken.



I'm a promise broken.
