Promise Broken

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, I'm the saddest words you ever spoken;
I'm a promise broken.

I'm the ballgame that you missed,
I'm the calls that don't come in.
I'm every poor excuse, you use to cover up the truth.
I tell the people that you love,
that they dont matter quite enough.
There's no stoppin' me once I'm in motion;
I'm a promise broken.

Disappointment, disillusion,
despair, confusion;
I've seen it all in their eyes.
Dont promise you will if you wont,
dont say you do if you dont,
its 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, I'm a promise broken.
I'm a promise broken.
