Days turn to years
But in my heart
Time has stood still

And like the devil
In my soul
It tests my will

Promises,
Promises that I made
Are the promises
Promises I betrayed

I just can seem to make
The commitment it takes
'Cause the guilt in my soul
Takes it toll
Every time I awake
Every time I awake

Time hasn't etched away the pictures of your face
Haunting me always
Memories I can't erase

And the promises
Promises that I made
Are the promises
Promises I betrayed
I just can't seem to make

The commitment it takes
And a piece of my heart breaks apart
Every time I awake
Every time I awake

And the night seems so dark and so endless
My conscious won't let me sleep
The guilt that haunts me is so relentless
Cause the promise I made is the one I can't keep

Whoa promises
Promises that I made
Are the promises
Promises I betrayed
And the promise
Promises that I made
Are the promises
Promises I betrayed

I just can't seem to make
The commitment it takes
And the guilt in my soul
Takes it's toll
Every time I awake
Every time I awake
Every time I awake

[do you ever feel lonely]
