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 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 It hurts to be something It's worse to be nothing With you
