Song Description
The hardest thing is to watch someone you care about make the wrong decision, over and over again. This song is about the promise we all possess, and how a promise to watch out for someone can fall short when that person sabotages themselves.

Lyrics
Press my heart in a dusty book
With the scraps and photographs
You never took
A sea of faces I barely know
Lay their claims, weigh their pain
And fail you
Who's gonna save you?
Save you from yourself
Ring the bells on a diamond day
Hear the music swell and decay
The hand you hold won't make you whole
Made a promise I swear I'd carry the load
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
When they said you had the gift
You could give twice as good as you'd get
Burn every bridge
You can't run away or try to make amends
Who's gonna save you?
Save you from yourself
Ring the bells on a diamond day
Hear the music swell and decay
The hand you hold won't make you whole
Made a promise I swear I'd carry the load
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
And when the fear is a gaping crack
You can never go back
And when your face is a vacant mask
They're all gone
There's no one
To hold on
Hold on
Ring the bells on a diamond day
Hear the music swell and decay
The hand you hold won't make you whole
Made a promise I swear I'd carry the load
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
