I Broke My Promise
American Music Club · Other Songs - American Music Club
I guess I lied, after twelve years, I still love you
On the phone you sound happy
But a heart can cry and you don't see the tears
I'm glad, you went back
(I'm glad)
I'm glad, you went back
I'm glad, you went back
(I'm glad)
I'm glad, you went back
The California sun always shines
But San Francisco is a cold place
To have a run of bad luck
Everyone likes to shine their little flashlights in your face
I'm glad, you went back
(I'm glad)
I'm glad, you went back
I'm glad, you went back
(I'm glad)
I'm glad, you went back
The blue, blue sky is made of butcher knives
And everyone you meet is wearing some stupid disguise
In Columbus there's no spotlight to dazzle your eyes
I hope you find someone who loves you
'Cause only love will save you
I broke my promise 'cause I've missed you for so long
I can feel you in my life when you're happy
No matter where you are, no matter where you are
I'm glad, you went back
(I'm glad)
I'm glad, you went back
I'm glad, you went back
(I'm glad)
I'm glad, you went back, yeah
I'm glad, I'm glad
