I made a promise
To distance myself
Took a flight, through aurora skies
Honestly, I didn´t think about
How we didn´t say goodbye

Just, "See you very soon"

It hurts to be something
It´s worse to be nothing with you
Mm, mm-mm, mm

So I didn´t call you
For sixteen long days
And I should get a cigarette
For so much restraint
No matter how long I resist temptation
I will always lose

It hurts to be something
It´s worse to be nothing with you

I´ve done the math
There´s no solution

We´ll never last
Why can´t I let go of this?

So I broke my promise
I called you last night
I shouldn´t have, I wouldn´t have
If it weren´t for the sight
Of a boy who looked just like you
Standing out on Melrose Avenue

It hurts to be something
It´s worse to be nothing with you
Mm, mm-mm, mm

It hurts to be something
It´s worse to be nothing with you
