I PROMISE YOU
Backstreet Boys/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The words you never say
I see it in your eyes
Always starts the same way
It seems like everyone we know is breaking up
Does anybody ever stay in love anymore
I promise you
I will love you â??til death do us part
I promise you
As a lover and a friend
I will love you like I'll never love again
With everything I am
I see you look at me
When you think I'm not aware
You're searching for clues
Of just how deep my feelings are
How do you prove the sky is blue
The ocean's wide
All I know is what I feel
When I look into your eyes
I promise you
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you â??til death do us part
I promise you
As a lover and a friend
I will love you like I'll never love again
With everything I am
There are no guarantees
That's what you always say to me
And late at night I feel the tremble in your touch
What I'm trying to say to you
I never said to anyone
I promise you
From the bottom of my heart
I will love you â??til death do us part
I promise you
As a lover and a friend
I will love you like I'll never love again
With everything I am
with everything I am

It's in the silences
I can tell what you're thinking by what you don't say
The words you never say
I pay attention to what you don't express to me verbally
I see it in your eyes
Your emotions are reflected in the way you look at me
Always starts the same way
Relationship issues tend to stem from similar beginnings
It seems like everyone we know is breaking up
I notice a lot of broken relationships around us
Does anybody ever stay in love anymore
It seems like more people are losing love than ever before
I promise you
I am making a serious vow to you
From the bottom of my heart
This promise comes from the depths of my feelings for you

I see you look at me
I notice the way you observe me
When you think I'm not aware
You assume I'm not paying attention to you
You're searching for clues
You're trying to figure out how I feel
Of just how deep my feelings are
You want to understand how much I care for you
How do you prove the sky is blue
Some things are just known and don't require proof
The ocean's wide
Some things are vast and difficult to measure
All I know is what I feel
I can only speak to the genuine emotions I have for you
When I look into your eyes
I feel a deep connection with you when we make eye contact
There are no guarantees
There's no way to be sure of anything in life, including love
That's what you always say to me
You remind me of the uncertainty in our relationship
And late at night I feel the tremble in your touch
When we're together, I sense your vulnerability
What I'm trying to say to you
I'm struggling to express something to you
I never said to anyone
I've never shared this sentiment with another person before

Remember when never needed each other
The best of friends, like sister and brother
We understood we'd never be, alone
Those days are gone, now I want you so much
The night is long and I need your touch
Don't know what to say never meant to feel this way
Don't want to be alone tonight
What can I do to make you mine?
Falling so hard, so fast, this time
What did I say? What did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
I hear your voice and I start to tremble
Brings back the child that I resemble
I cannot pretend that we can still be friends
Don't want to be alone tonight
What can I do to make you mine?
Falling so hard, so fast, this time
What did I say?What did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
I want to say this right
And it has to be tonight
Just need you to know
I don't want to live this life
I don't want to say goodbye
With you I want to spend the rest of my life
What can I do to make you mine?
Falling so hard, so fast, this time
What did I say? What did you do?
How did I fall in love with you?
What can I do to make you mine?
Falling so hard, so fast, this time
Everything's changed we never knew
How did I fall in love with you

Brian and Howie's voices vibe so so well together. I absolutely love this song. ❤
@1475n0va
First time I listened to this song, I was literally crying for its beautiful melody and emotionally-written lyrics.
I've not yet fallen in love when I heard this song, but I can feel the pain for loving someone we can't have.
And now my love status is unsure, I am comforted with this song.
@user-vd2jk7dl3p
1475n0va This one ,Siabira and Show me the meaning are the most emotional and "grab you by the gut " songs by BSB. they are the most emotioally real.
@1475n0va
DeShiia Coleman Permanent Skin is also their heartache song even they made it more upbeat. Yeah, I like Siberia and Show Me The Meaning of Being Lonely.
