lyrics

If I can walk away from this I'll always be good.
If I can walk away from this I'll do what I should.
I will stop making promises if I can walk away from this.

If someone else cleans up this mess
I will stop making promises.
A resolution
Not a promise.

Once upon a time I used to play like a kid.
Once upon a time they never knew what I did.
I will stop making promises if I don't have to pay for this.

It wasn't really stealing.
All I did was push a button.
A solution.
Not a problem.

No matter what I do I'm always ready to run.
It cannot be undone, it's just a matter of time.
I will stop making promises if I can walk away from this.

I put it all behind me.
Now I wait for them to find me.
There's no solution.
That's not a threat.
It's a promise!
