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
But I'm the saddest words you've spoken
I'm a promise broken
I'm the ballgame you missed
I'm the calls that don't come in.

I'm every poor excuse you 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
Disappointment, disillusion, despair, confusion
I've seen it all in your eyes.

Don't promise you, well
If you want don't say, say you do
If you don't it's alright to say you're trying

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 have been
But I will leave you never knowing
I'm a promise broken..
I'm a promise broken...
