You and I, we were lovers once when the
  World was young
You were mine, I was yours forever to be
  Forever one
Now we hope we can forgive ourselves
Knowing everyone carries a token
Of promises made, promises kept, promises
  Broken

What went wrong, we tried to make it work
  Like it worked before
At the time, we convinced ourselves there
  Was something more
Now I pray that you'll hear the sound
  Of apologies never spoken
For promises made, promises kept, promises
  Broken

So like a song, that's the sorry tale of a
  Humbled heart
When it's sung, we spend half our lives on
  The saddest part

Can we awake from this dream we've live
With our eyes finally opened
To promises made, promises kept, promises
  broken
Promises made, promises kept, promises
  broken
