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      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
