Promise

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 16 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

Mm, mm-mm

It hurts to be something

It's worse to be nothing with you
