Promises
ATB vs. Nero Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I ever deny
You got me so high
So high I cannot feel the fire
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
And you'll never want to leave my side
As long as I don't break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
You got me so wild
Why should I be so surprised?
You got me so high
Don't you see it in my eyes?
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
And you'll never want to leave my side
As long as I don't break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself

You got me so wild
You have made me very excited and passionate
How can I ever deny
I cannot pretend that I am not affected by you
You got me so high
I am filled with intense emotions because of you
So high I cannot feel the fire
My emotions are so strong that I am numb to any pain
And you keep telling me
You repeatedly assure me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
You promise to treat me kindly
And you'll never want to leave my side
You vow to always stay with me
As long as I don't break these
As long as I don't fail to keep up my end of the bargain
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
But all of these promises feel like they are for nothing
You got me so wild
You have made me very excited and passionate
Why should I be so surprised?
Why am I even questioning it?
Don't you see it in my eyes?
Can't you tell that I feel strongly about you just by looking at me?
They are so wasted on myself
I am not deserving of these promises
They are so wasted on myself
I don't feel that I can live up to these promises
They are so wasted on myself
I feel that I am not worthy of your promises
They are so wasted on myself
All of these promises are futile because of my own shortcomings
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Despite everything, these promises still feel useless to me
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
I can't help but feel that these promises are a waste
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Even though you make these promises to me, I still feel unworthy
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
I can't shake the feeling that these promises are pointless
