You did promise,

We both remember your words,

But holding on to them

Would only make things worse.


You did mean well,

I trust you're a sweet soul,

But the day's twenty-four hours

Dug you a very deep hole.


Irene, stop promising,

No one trusts what you say

- not even you do anymore.

We'll forget it, okay?
