Standard (EADGBE)

 intro

I'M OUT HERE EVERY DAY BREAKIN HEARTS ALONG THE WAY

I CAUSE TEARS TO FALL AND SOME TO LOSE IT ALL

THIS WHOLE WORLD WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT ME

I'M THE SADDEST WORDS YOU'VE SPOKEN I'M A PROMISE BROKEN

I'M THE BALL GAME THAT YOU MISSED I'M THE CALLS THAT DON'T COME IN

I'M EVERY POOR EXCUSE YOU USE TO COVER UP THE TRUTH

I TELL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU LOVE THEY DON'T MATTER QUIET ENOUGH

THERE'S NO STOPPIN ME ONCE I'M IN MOTION I'M A PROMISE BROKEN

DISAPPOINTMENT DISILLUSION DESPAIR CONFUSION

I'VE SEEN IT ALL IN YOUR EYES DON'T PROMISE YOU WILL IF YOU WON'T

DON'T SAY YOU DO WHEN YOU DON'T IT'S OK TO SAY YOU'LL TRY

I GET PUSHED ASIDE WHEN YOU MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE

BUT I STAND THE TEST OF TIME IN YOUR HEART AND IN YOUR MIND

YOU'LL THINK ABOUT ME NOW AND THEN WONDER HOW YOUR LIFE MIGHT HAVE BEEN

BUT I WILL LEAVE YOU NEVER KNOWIN I'M A PROMISE BROKEN

I'M A PROMISE BROKEN
