To understand a man like me

And I promise I won't be that mean 
These stupid promises are accumulating 
In a grossly unwholesome scene 

Now I'm happy to have lived without it 
Pretty easy, if you know what I mean 
I will stand upon a windswept hillside 
Latter to recount how much this meant to me
