A Promise

I once made a promise
To help my breaking heart
To try to keep it together
And prevent it from falling apart

My promise was like a vow
To give up on guys
To put dating aside
And stop telling myself lies

I've kept my promise so far
I've managed to keep them out
I've pushed them all away
They don't stay long about

But in my efforts to save my heart
I fear I made it too strong
Now no one can get in
I fear I must've been wrong

I don't want to be alone
I just don't want the heartbreak
It seems that every guy
Ends up a jerk or fake

Maybe I'll break my promise
And let a special guy in
Let down my defenses
My heart could be his to win

No thats just crazy talk
I'll just get in too deep
Can't forget I made a promise
A promise I'll alway keep
