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
