I Know You Won't
¿­Àò¡¤°²µÂÎéµÂCarrie Underwood Lyrics

In "I Know You Won't," Carrie Underwood sings about a failing relationship, where her significant other gives her false promises and phony reassurances. The song is about how someone in a relationship can seem so convinced that their partner will change, but deep down they know that things are unlikely to get any better. In the first verse, Carrie notes that her partner can make her feel like they belong whenever they choose to, but lately, Carrie has been feeling like nothing more than a backup plan. She tries to put an end to the relationship, but her partner simply smiles, and she falls for his lies and empty promises once again. The chorus repeats the lines, "You say you'll call, but I know you won't," highlighting the frustration that comes with a partner who overpromises and underdelivers.

The second verse elaborates on the feelings of longing and sadness. Carrie wishes that her partner was where he is supposed to be, close to her, but instead, she is left to stare at a burning candle, symbolizing the dwindling hope she has for their relationship. The last line of the verse references the sound of footsteps on the stairs, which could be her partner returning, but it turns out to be only a false hope. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the frustration and anger Carrie feels towards her partner's constant lies.

Overall, "I Know You Won't" is a powerful song about unfulfilled promises and the pain of a relationship that is slowly coming to an end. It shows how easily one can fall for false promises, and the pain of knowing that the promises will never come to fruition.
