I made myself a promise
The day you put me down
That I wouldn't see you
If you came around
But here you are within my arms
The way you used to be
And I broke the promise
That I made to me

They told me you were at a dance
As I prepared to go
I made myself a promise
That I'd only say hello
I knew you'd only hurt me

But it's such sweet misery
So I broke the promise
That I made to me

A broken promise always means
Someone will surely cry
And I know who
That someone's bound to be
And tomorrow I'll be sorry
That I told myself a lie
And broke the promise
That I made to me

(Repeat last verse)
