Broken Promise

I never really trusted anybody
Especially not someone I've been before
As long as I could I tried to make you understand
As far as I could I tried to be the bigger man
How did I ever

Believe in all the stories that they told me
That I had to be worthy to be loved, oh love
Can't understand why I still feel like I belong
Here in your arms, although I know I could be wrong

Now I'm stuck with a broken promise
Dealing with the hard truth
Messing my mind, all of the time
Being in denial is all I'm willing to do

Now that things are over
I've done right by myself
I've taken time to notice
What would happen to my ego
If I carry on this way
Will you still feel the same?

Stuck with a broken promise
Dealing with the hard truth
Messing my mind all of the time
Being in denial is all I'm willing to do

Now I'm stuck with a broken promise (I never really trusted anybody)
Dealing with the hard truth (Especially not someone I've been before)
Messing my mind all of the time (As long as I could I tried to make you understand)
Being in denial is all I'm willing to do (As far as I could I tried to be the bigger man)
(How did I ever)
Believe in all the stories that they told me
That I had to be worthy to be loved
