I thought the world was falling

I held you in my palm, promised 

Everything will be alright 

But change is all I ever know 

And I promised what I can't keep 

I stare you in the eye and

Regret overcomes me

Why do I promise

What I can't keep?

Why do I say

I'll always be there

When I can't 

When I'll leave

Because someday when times are tough

My own life will slip away

And broken promises build on others

And you'll never forget my mistake 

Just a broken promise

But it means so much to you 

The thought that I'd ever leave you 

Is enough to make me stay 

But someday 

I'll be too weak for it all

And when you drift away

It'll all be over 

I'll never see daylight again

I can hide out in a darkened cave

Because it's never going to be the same 

After a broken promise 

Why do I promise

What I can't keep?

Why do I say

I'll always be there

When I can't 

When I'll leave

Because someday when times are tough

My own life will slip away

And broken promises build on others

And you'll never forget my mistake 

Just a broken promise

But it means so much to you 

The thought that I'd ever leave you 

Is enough to make me stay 

But someday 

I'll be too weak for it all

And when you drift away

It'll all be over 

For the last time 

Just because 

Of a broken promise
