Promises I Can't Keep Lyrics - Mike Shinoda

[Verse 1] 

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 

[Pre-Chorus] 

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

[Chorus] 

I had so much certainty 

Til 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 

[Verse 2] 

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, now awake at night 

I know reality was getting in the way 

[Pre-Chorus] 

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

[Chorus] 

I had so much certainty 

Til 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 

[Chorus] 

I had so much certainty 

Til 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
