It was a day like any other, only today I was going back to the store to say

something I’ve always wanted to spit out

But at the last moment I always chickened out, but not today

No, today I went in, guns  blazing, head up, chest out Ill give him a piece of my mind

Leave every bit of courtesy behind, Im on the war path

Yeah, hi euhm I would like a refund on my promise, I checked and I still have the warranty

No, it worked fine for a few days but now it doesn’t even respond to me

And in your sales pitch you used the word forever

Now Im not that smart not that clever

But the definition of the word forever shouldn’t be till it breaks

I compared it to some of my friends and this one might be fake

No I didn’t do anything wrong, I used it exactly as instructed

I didn’t make any other promises and I never hit it

I didn’t flip out when it kept pointing out my faults

And I changed accordingly to get the best results

What, yes I kept a diary and I compared it to my friends and family

Very similar, but mine is broke and theirs is still functioning properly

It makes no sense, yes of course Im tense

I put all this time and effort into making the best out of the promise you gave me

Only to find out that this promise was empty

Im pissed off

And that’s when he told me he would take my promise under review

To see what he could do

And in the meantime I should window shop to see if there anything I like

And since Im such a good customer they might let me try a few for one night

And who can argue with such a good deal

But these other promises are just minor I want something that’s real

So I asked him, what are my chances of fixing that promise

Then he looked at the scratches, the wear and tear

Looked me in the eyes and said I have to be honest here

Your chances aren’t good, but that’s not to be misunderstood

Cause Ill still give it my best shot, all I need is some time

But until I repair every scratch, you will have to leave it behind

And there I stood in my favourite store thinking to myself is it even worth it anymore

The refund I would get, wouldn’t cover the time I lost

This fixed promise wouldn’t give back the love I lost

So I told him, I just want my refund and Ill get out of his hair

And he can just throw that promise away cause I no longer care

Out of respect he took it back without a single word to sway me

Then told me to wait one month for my refund to find me

So here I stand without a promise, but open to the possibility

Next time around, Ill read through the manual and do some research

Because I still want a promise that right for me
