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
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
