Song Share: Broken Promise

By Alex Madrigal

I thought of this song during music night when we were talking about how anything that Michael Stipe touches is gold. Brian Molko is a great song writer and i love his voice. His voice is so unique and emotional. I also like that this song shows Placebo's 2 sides, their quiet sad side and the loud angstful and angry side.

Broken Promise by Placebo

Lyrics:
We'll rise above this
We'll cry about this
As we live and learn
A broken promise
I was not honest
Now I watch as tables turn
And you’re singing

I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

I’ll cry about this
And hide my cuckold eyes
As you come off all concerned
I’ll find no solace
In your poor apology
In your regret that sounds absurd
And keep singing

I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
And I’ll wait my turn
To terrorize you
Watch you burn
And I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

And this is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise
Promise is a promise

And I’ll wait my turn
To tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

A broken promise
You were not honest
I’ll bide my time
I’ll wait my turn
