I've kept the promises I made
Stood steady in the storms
Never caved in to the waves
First one, then two, even three
Never failing, always strong

But the one I never got to make
Is the one that haunts me still
As the precipice approaches
I still consider the jump
But what once was safe
Has become suicide

So I'm left with one broken promise
Not one made to anyone
Not even one unsaid
The only broken promise
Is what I promised to myself
