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
