I Broke My Promise

American Music Club · Other Songs - American Music Club

I broke my promise, that I wouldn't write another song about you

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
