Another promise broken/
You say its not your fault/
No effort on your part/
And disappointment on mine/
Please, just stop for a minute/
And think about the promises you made/
The next time you open your mouth/
Just promise me one thing/
Don't make another promise to me/
That you don't intend to keep/

It's one thing to break a promise once, but when it becomes a habit I get a little annoyed.
