I made a promise to myself
Locked it way deep down inside
Told my heart I’d wait it out
Swore I’d never compromise

Oh I’d rather be alone
Like I am tonight
Than settle for a kind of friend
That leaves before the morning light

Silence stared me in the face
And I finally heard it’s voice
It seemed to softly say
That in life you have no choice

Today I got the answer
And there’s a world of truth behind it
Its out there waiting somewhere
You just have to go and find it
