Promise (Live)

I made a promise

To distance myself

Took a flight through aurora skies

Honestly I didn't think about

How we didn't say, "Goodbye"

Just, "See you very soon"

It hurts to be something

It's worse to be nothing with you

Mm, mm-mm, mm

So I didn't call you

For sixteen long days

And I should get a cigarette

For so much restraint

No matter how long I resist temptation

I will always lose

It hurts to be something

It's worse to be nothing with you

I've done the math

There's no solution

We'll never last

Why can't I let go of this?

So I broke my promise

I called you last night

I shouldn't have, I wouldn't have

If it weren't for the sight of a boy

Who looked just like you

Standing out on Melrose Avenue

It hurts to be something

It's worse to be nothing with you

It hurts to be something

It's worse to be nothing with you
