Broken Promises

Sometimes promises can't be kept.

Broken Promises

I'm so sorry, baby.
I know I promised
but you must understand.
This job is so demanding.
I didn't want to leave you alone,
but it's an emergency.
Don't worry, baby.
I'll remember next time.
I promise.

I'm so sorry, baby.
I know I promised
but you must understand.
I'm always alone.
I didn't want to break our vows,
but he paid more attention to me,
he never forgot important days,
he even likes our little one.
Don't worry, baby.
I'll break it off with him.
I promise.

We're so sorry, baby.
We know we promised
but you must understand.
Things changed
and Mommy and Daddy
can't be together anymore.
But you get another Daddy.
Isn't that exciting?
We still love you.
Don't worry, baby.
Everything will work out.
We promise.

I'm so sorry.
I know it was my fault
that you guys left each other.
He's real nice, Daddy,
but he isn't you
and I don't have his smile.
He treats her well, Daddy,
but he doesn't make her laugh
like you used to.
Don't worry.
I'll fix everything.
I promise.
