A Broken Promise Lyrics

Glimpses of the future
Ride out past familiar
Success becoming failure
Meaning everything you say
Living like today's the day
The hopelessness won't fade away
You're on your own

Head from a broken promise
Held you back

Taking on your own control
Finding out what you don't know
Leaving what took it's toll
Meaning everything you say
Living like today's the day
Hopelessness won't fade away
You're on your own

Head from a broken promise
Held you back
It held you back

(A promise is broken)

I can't take this any longer
I will die or become stronger
I can't take this any longer
I will die or become stronger
I can't take this any longer
I will die or become stronger
I can't take this any longer
I will die or become stronger

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm guessing he gets left by someone that promised him eternity. So know he realizes he has two choices either let himself die on the inside and give up or fight back and control himself.
