Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

It hurts to be something

It's worse to be nothing with you

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

It hurts to be something

It's worse to be nothing with you

[Bridge]

I've done the math

There's no solution

We'll never last

Why can't I let go of this?

[Verse 3]

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

[Outro]

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
