Promises
Mr. Tuxedo Lyrics

You don't know what you got
The value of what you have is often not realized until it's almost gone

Till the love is almost gone
People often do not realize the value of love in their life until it's nearly gone

This time she's given up
The person who was loved has given up on their relationship and decided to leave

Still in a state of shock
Even though the person saw the end coming, they are still surprised and disorientated

I should have seen it coming on
The person realizes that they should have been able to see the end of the relationship approaching

It's too late for waking up
The time for realization and regret has passed, and it's too late to salvage the relationship

Her mind's made up I know
The person realizes that the person they loved has already made up their mind to leave them

The dream is over
The person's hopes of a future with the one they loved are finished

But my heart just can't let go
The person still loves the one who is leaving and is unable to move on

She's too good to be forgotten
The person still believes that the one leaving is exceptional and deserves to be remembered

Too good to be true
The person sees the situation as being too perfect to be real, and it's hard to let go of the notion that it could have been perfect

Before my world is torn apart
The person is aware that losing the loved one would change everything for them and they want to stop that from happening

I'll promise her the moon
The person is determined to do whatever he can to keep the one he loves, even if it means making false promises

I was too blind to notice her
The person realizes now that they did not appreciate the person they loved at the time

Wrapped up in myself
The person was preoccupied with their own issues and didn't pay attention to the one they loved

Working hard overtime, night and day
The person was so consumed by work that they neglected the one they loved

I thought we were so secure
The person believed that nothing could harm their relationship, and that it was solid and unbreakable

Can't imagine someone else
The person cannot fathom their loved one being with anyone else or loving anyone else

Could come between us and take her away
The person did not believe that anyone could undermine their relationship and end up taking away the one they love

And all the times that she stood by me
The person acknowledges that the one they love was always there for them and supported them

I never said I love you
The person realizes now that they never verbally expressed their love to the person they loved

But I kept it deep down in my soul
The person loved the one they loved silently, and never really let them know

And all the while I've been a fool
The person was foolish in not realizing that they should have expressed their love for the one they loved while they were still together
