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, im the saddest words you've spoken
I'm a promise broken

I'm the ballgame that you missed
Im the calls that don't come in
Im 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 stopping me once im in motion
Im a promise broken

Disappointment, disillusion
Despair, confusion
I've seen it all in their eyes
Don't promise you will if you want
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, im a promise broken
I'm a promise broken
