Beach Bunny Lyrics

Buried away at the back of my bed
Close my eyes but every time I try to rest
It's hard to think clearly, you live inside my head
Maybe you will, maybe you can't
Now you're gone
It's so unfair, keeping me from moving on
A part of me still wants you
A part of me wants to fall asleep
While we were all alone in your bedroom
You came like a reoccurring dream
A part of me still hates you
How could you love someone and leave?
When you're all alone in your bedroom
Do you ever think of me?
The wasted words you tried to breathe were poetry
Living in a memory, walking through a daydream
Sister said, "Be patient, things aren't what they seem"
But it's hard to think clearly, you never say what you mean
Maybe you will, maybe you can't
Now you're gone
It's so unfair, keeping me from moving on
A part of me still wants you
A part of me wants to fall asleep
While we were all alone in your bedroom
You came like a reoccurring dream
A part of me still hates you
How could you love someone and leave?
When you're all alone in your bedroom
Do you ever think of me?
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me, me, me
Think of me
Think of me
Think of me, me, me
A part of me still wants you
A part of me wants to fall asleep
While we were all alone in your bedroom
You came like a re-occurring dream
A part of me still hates you
How could you love someone and leave?
When you're all alone in your bedroom
Do you ever think of me?
In "Promises" by Beach Bunny, the singer is struggling to come to terms with a past relationship that ended without closure. The lyrics describe how promises and problems were left unsaid and buried away at the back of the singer's bed. The memories of this relationship continue to haunt the singer's thoughts, making it hard for them to rest and think clearly. The singer questions whether the person they were with will ever think of them or remember the moments they shared together in private.
The chorus of the song reveals how conflicted the singer remains. One part of the singer still wants their ex-lover while one part wants to forget them completely. The lyrics convey a sense of raw emotion as the singer is unable to reconcile their feelings about the past relationship. The usage of repetition in the chorus highlights the inner turmoil that the singer is going through.
Furthermore, the singer suggests that the ex-lover never said what they meant, making it difficult for the singer to move on. The second verse mentions how the wasted words that the ex-lover tried to breathe were like poetry, living only in memories and daydreams. The lyrics also hint at the possibility of the ex-lover moving on to other relationships quickly, leaving the singer feeling hurt and confused.
Overall, "Promises" is about the struggle of coming to terms with a past relationship that ended without closure. The lyrics describe the overwhelming feeling of wanting to move on but also holding on to memories of a past love.
Line by Line Meaning
Promises and problems were all left unsaid
Issues in our relationship were buried and we never addressed them
Buried away at the back of my bed
These issues were hidden away from everyone, like a secret that was never spoken of
Close my eyes but every time I try to rest
Even though I try to forget about these problems, they linger in my mind and affect my ability to find peace
It's hard to think clearly, you live inside my head
My thoughts are consumed by you, preventing me from focusing on anything else
Maybe you will, maybe you can't
I'm uncertain if you'll ever be able to address our problems
Now you're gone
You've left me and are no longer present in my life
It's so unfair, keeping me from moving on
The negative impact of our unresolved issues has made it difficult for me to move on
A part of me still wants you
Despite the problems we've had, a part of me still desires to be with you
A part of me wants to fall asleep
I long for the comfort and peace that being with you brought me
While we were all alone in your bedroom
Our moments together were intimate and private, creating a deep connection between us
You came like a reoccurring dream
Your presence in my life was constant, like a dream that kept repeating itself
A part of me still hates you
Despite my desire to be with you, I also feel anger and resentment towards you
How could you love someone and leave?
I struggle to understand how you could have once loved me and then left me
When you're all alone in your bedroom
Like me, you are also alone in your private moments, perhaps thinking about our relationship
Do you ever think of me?
I wonder if you ever reflect on our past and what went wrong
The wasted words you tried to breathe were poetry
Your attempts to communicate were insignificant and didn't address the real issues at hand
Living in a memory, walking through a daydream
I'm stuck in the past, replaying our moments together in my mind
Sister said, "Be patient, things aren't what they seem"
Others have offered advice, telling me to be patient and that things may not be as they seem
But it's hard to think clearly, you never say what you mean
Despite the advice of others, I still find it difficult to move on because I feel that you never expressed your true feelings
Think of me
I hope that you still think of me, even if only in passing
Think of me, me, me
Emphasizes the repetition of this thought, indicating the persistence of my desire to be remembered by you

Promises and problems were all left unsaid
Buried away at the back of my bed
Close my eyes but every time I try to rest
It's hard to think clearly, you live inside my head
A minute you're there, a minute you cared, now you're gone
It's so unfair, keeping me from moving on
Part of me still wants you, part of me wants to fall asleep
When we're all alone in your bedroom, you came like a reoccurring dream
Part of me still hates you, how could you love someone and leave?
When you're all alone in your bedroom, do you ever think of me?
The wasted words you'd tried to breathe were poetry
Living in a memory, walking through a daydream
Sister said be patient, things aren't what they seem
But it's hard to think clearly, you never say what you mean
A minute you're there, a minute you cared, now you're gone
It's so unfair, keeping me from moving on
Part of me still wants you, part of me wants to fall asleep

Part of me still hates you, how could you love someone and leave?
When you're all alone in your bedroom, do you ever think of me?
Think of me, think of me, think of me, me, me
Think of me, think of me, think of me, me, me
Part of me still wants you, part of me wants to fall asleep
When we're all alone in your bedroom, you came like a reoccurring dream
Part of me still hates you, how could you love someone and leave?
When you're all alone in your bedroom, do you ever think of me?

Omg this music is my life right now . I had a best friend for 3 years and then he started to be realy rude with me from nothing and never apologised , then two days before vacation we had a little argument and one of my friends heard him saying he was tired of taking care of me ( i have some anxiety problems) because he coudn't take care of himself ( he as some depression problems) .
I was deeply hurt because he didn' t told i was hurting him , and i always let him know when he Hurts me. In vacation i texted him but he ignored me for a month before texting me like nothing happened , i barely answered .
School is back , its almost a month and he barely even look's at my face , he's just ignoring me .
And It makes me so sad because we passed throug so much shit together , we were so close .
And that made me realize , It meant nothing to him .
The music made me feel undertood.
Im Brazilian so sorry for my bad english
