I promised I'd be good
I said I'd never go astray
but back then I thought
that I'd always know my way
I promised to stay in line
I said I'd always pray
but back then I thought
I knew the night from day
I said I'd always be nice
and the truth I'd always say
but life was then a bed of roses
not just a game people play
I said I'd follow all the rules
and I tried to always obey
but back then you promised
that you'd never go away
I promised to be faithful
I said I'd never betray
But then it was all black and white
there were no shades of gray

Back then is such a safe place to be, no? :( Changes, maturity... Too many things to handle.
i like the twist in the end
i love the twist at the end
but back then you promised
that you'd never go away
beautiful line.
This is so good! I love!
i loved the last four lines.
I love this one. For reasons you know best. Well actually it's a common coming -of- age revelation.
Life! How much it inspires us to write!
