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
