A new day, a new promise.
Out of all the promises we made, there is one I couldn’t keep.
And no, I’m not talking about the promise of not leaving,
Or the promise of always talking,
I’m talking about the promise of not hurting.

You made me promise that I wouldn’t cut myself, not realizing that you were the one holding the blade.

So I guess when I say I couldn’t keep it,
I’m wrong,
Cause it was not mine to keep.

Out of all the promises we made,
I wish you made that promise.
I wish you promised to not hurt the one you ‘loved’.

Out of all the promises, that was not mine to keep.
Out of all the promises, that was worthless.
