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've spoken
I'm a promise broken

I'm the ball game that you missed
And 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 don't matter quite enough
Well 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
Don't promise you will, if you want
Don't say you do, if you don't
It's 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
