Promise in Arizona

When I went to Arizona it was because I promised you

I would live a life exciting enough to honor you.

If I'm being honest

I've broken that promise a time or two

I sold out to a job I knew didn't care about me

Told myself I was helping people who needed me

Should have known it wouldn't last

I burnt out pretty fast

All the times I told you about my weary days

I avoided so many signs you sent me that I was going the wrong way

I made another promise just between you and me

To not be afraid to start over and see what I can be

I went back to school

It was pretty cool

I made some friends you would like

My partying saw a big spike

If I was having fun, I was thinking about you

Wishing you were there, wondering what you'd do

I thought I was keeping my promise

but we haven't talked in a while

I'm not living my best life not chasing my dreams

This promise is hurting me it seems

No, I won't give up

I'm still here to try

I made a promise in Arizona

I'll keep it until I die
