All's not well upon these shores
Some indecisive battles, some major wars
I've tried to keep my promises
What have you been doing with yours?

A promise is a thing you say
And a promise makes you feel okay
But I look at my promise and I gotta say:
I made you and I can break you
Break you, yeah

Things have a way of coming about
First comes knowledge, then comes doubt
You're so close to losing me
And you haven't really figured it out

A promise is a sacred trust
You pray, you promise, you adjust
Have faith in my promise if you must

I made you and I can break you
Break you, yeah
Break you, yeah
