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 Theres 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
