Don't take yourself so seriously, question things! The Ramones you know!
I wrote another song called "In charge" about being in charge of ones own life, this is the slow song with the same subject.
Lyrics
A promise
Verse 1
I made a promise
To myself today
But what is
The matter anyway?
Everybody has bad days
Everybody has made a mistake
I made myself a promise
That Ia019m not gonna break
Chorus
Fighting wars
Losing a battle
Partya019s changing old to new
Closing doors
Eaten like cattle
Mental walls hard to break through
Ia019m afraid
I broke a promise I made
Verse 2
I made myself a pact
Wona019t let myself down
Not change the way I act
Not turn a smile into a frown
As I watch the sunshine
Turning into rain
The weather is a fact
But it always leaves a stain
Bridge
A promise in making
Is another one breaking
Ita019s a fire burning without any warmth
Living in the past is soothing
But I gotta keep moving
Cause my mind is always stirring forth
But I cana019t follow any sheep
Thata019s a promise I think I can keep
