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 and 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. 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.
