Promise Broken

I'm out here everyday

Breakin' hearts along the way

I cause tears to fall

And some to lose it all

This whole world would be

Better off without me

Well, I'm the saddest words you've spoken

I'm a promise broken

I'm the ballgame that you missed

I'm the calls that don't come in

I'm every poor excuse you use to cover up the truth

I tell the people that you love

That they don't matter quite enough

There's no stoppin' me once I'm in motion

I'm a promise broken

Disappointment, disillusion

Despair, confusion

I've seen it all in their eyes

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 knowin'

Well, I'm a promise broken

I'm a promise broken
