Promises I Can't Keep - Mike Shinoda

What's the difference between a man and a monster

Is it somewhere between "I can" and "I want to"

Is it somewhere between the promises I made

And the fact I couldn't see something getting in the way

I used to think that I know what I want

Never saw it coming unglued

I used to think that I know what I want

Now it's time to see if it's true

I had so much certainty

Till that moment I lost control

And I've tried but it never was up to me

I've got no worse enemy

Than the fear of what's still unknown

And the time's come to realize there will be

Promises I can't keep

What's the difference between a loss and a forfeit

I tried to make it better, but I made it more sick

I tried to make it right, but now awake at night

I know reality was getting in the way

I used to think that I knew who I was

Never saw it coming unglued

I used to think that I knew who I was

Now it's time to see if it's true

I had so much certainty

Till that moment I lost control

And I've tried but it never was up to me

I've got no worse enemy

Than the fear of what's still unknown

And the time's come to realize there will be

Promises I can't keep

I had so much certainty

Till that moment I lost control

And I've tried but it never was up to me

I've got no worse enemy

Than the fear of what's still unknown

And the time's come to realize there will be

Promises I can't keep

Promises I can't keep
