Broken Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I made myself a promise, the day you put me down,
That i wouldn't see you if you came around.
But here you are, within my arms, the way you used to be.
And i broke the promise that i made to me.
They told me you were at a dance and i prepared to go:
I made myself a promise that i'd only say hello.
I knew you'd only hurt me, but it's such sweet misery,
So i broke the promise that i made to me.
A broken promise always means someone will surely cry,
And i know who that someone's bound to be.
And tomorrow i'll be sorry that i told myself a lie,
And broke the promise that i made to me.
A broken promise always means someone will surely cry,
And i know who that someone's bound to be.
And tomorrow i'll be sorry that i told myself a lie,
And broke the promise that i made to me.
